if you read the Little redis book at some point this sentence comes.

"You might not know it, but Redis is actually single-threaded, which is how every command is guaranteed to be atomic. While one command is executing, no other command will run."

Have a look in http://openmymind.net/2012/1/23/The-Little-Redis-Book/ for more information
