A practical workflow

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