+This project illustrates how to send multiple cache requests to redis in bulk, asynchronously.
+This asyncio approach resembles traditional redis pipelining.  Details about how this
+is so can be read at https://github.com/benashford/redis-async-rs/issues/19#issuecomment-412208018
+
+
+
+To test the demo, POST a json object containing three strings to the /cache_stuff endpoint:
+	{"one": "first entry",
+	 "two": "second entry",
+	 "three": "third entry" }
+
+
+
+These three entries will cache to redis, keyed accordingly.
