How to Clear Redis Cache Keys In Code for Sitecore Commerce Entities

A couple of weeks ago Sitecore Experience Commerce 10.2 has been released adding support for new commands in code to clear keys in cache stores managed with the Redis cache provider. Unfortunately the commerce website of one of my clients is on a previous version of the platform, Sitecore Experience Commerce 9.3, and these new commands are not available.

The Sitecore Commerce 9.3 On-Premises Installation Has Never Been So Fast

The Sitecore Hackathon 2020 starts in less than 48 hours and I am getting ready to participate for my second consecutive year with my team, The Prod Squad. One important recommended task to execute before the contest starts is to setup a local development environment, installing the required version of the Sitecore platform. This year the implemented module should be based on Sitecore XP 9.3 and, if you are considering commerce, it should be based on Sitecore Experience Commerce 9.3.

I don’t know yet if we are going to develop a module on Sitecore Commerce this year, but last night I decided to get ready for it and try to install it on my laptop. I have done a good number of Sitecore Commerce 9.1 on-premises installations in the last few months and a lot of manual steps, hacks and fixes were involved to make the installation successful.

Last night I installed Sitecore Commerce 9.3 on my laptop and I managed the entire installation process, including prerequisites installation and parameters configuration, in less than 2 hours! I have encountered only a couple of issues during the installation process and I will describe them in this blog post, starting with some tips that will make your installation process smoother.
