Answer 1

There are no such callbacks in redis (not that I know of).

I would do it like this:

• when user signs up, put his id into a sorted set where the score is a timestamp (now + 4 days) and member is user id.
• have a periodic job that gets all records from that sorted set where timestamp is in the past.
• loop through those user ids and take actions (if he didn't confirm - delete all user's data).
