A practical workflow
- Set up Redis cache, primary, vector, or custom database quickly and develop with Redis Open Source or Redis Enterprise solutions.
- Use Redis tools like CLI, GUI, VS Code extensions, and MCP tools to manage and query Redis data including JSON and vector queries.
- Deploy and scale Redis for production workloads using Redis Enterprise, Redis Cloud, or Kubernetes solutions.
