# Storing Arbitrary Data with Redis

Jobly comes bundled with Sidekiq::Status which has a built in ability allowing you to store and use arbitrary data in its Redis database.

jobs/hello.rb
class Hello < Jobly::Job
  def execute(name: 'bob')
    # Store arbitrary data
    store vino: 'veritas'

    # Retrieve data.
    vino = retrieve :vino
  end
end

Note that:

Values are always stored as a String, so you will need to convert them to other types when appropriate.
When retrieve does not find the key, nil is returned.
Stored keys are available across jobs.
