Redis memory management

[calvin21]

Could someone please help me understand in depth, memory management in
Redis?

I've read that Redis needs RAM that is sufficient to fit the entire
data set. Does this mean that both keys and values for all documents
are stored in memory?

If that is the case, is persistence to disk only for sake of
maintaining the data across restarts? Does this mean that after a
restart, the entire dataset is loaded from disk to memory?

Thanks!

yes, and yes. both keys and values have to fit into memory,
and on restart, the entire dataset is loaded again.
