redis-development

redis-core

Core Redis modeling guidance — choose the right data structure (String, Hash, List, Set, Sorted Set, JSON, Stream, Vector Set) and use consistent colon-separated key names. Use when designing a Redis data model, caching objects, deciding between Hash and JSON, building counters, leaderboards, membership sets, or session stores, or when reviewing/cleaning up Redis key naming.

redis-connections

Redis client and connection guidance covering connection pooling, multiplexing, pipelining, client-side caching with RESP3, avoiding slow commands (KEYS, SMEMBERS, HGETALL), and tuning socket timeouts. Use when configuring a Redis client (redis-py, Jedis, Lettuce, NRedisStack), batching commands for throughput, eliminating per-request connection creation, iterating large keyspaces with SCAN, enabling client-side caching for read-heavy workloads, or setting connect and read timeouts.

redis-security

Redis security guidance covering authentication (requirepass and ACL users), TLS, ACL-based least-privilege access control, restricting network exposure via bind and protected-mode, firewall rules, and disabling dangerous commands. Use when deploying Redis to production, defining ACL users for an application, configuring TLS connections, locking down a Redis instance behind a firewall, or auditing a Redis deployment for security hardening.

redis-query-engine

Redis Query Engine (RQE) guidance covering FT.CREATE schema design, field type selection (TEXT, TAG, NUMERIC, GEO, GEOSHAPE, VECTOR), DIALECT 2 query syntax, efficient FT.SEARCH and FT.AGGREGATE queries, zero-downtime index updates via aliases, and the SKIPINITIALSCAN option. Use when defining a search index on Hash or JSON documents, picking between TEXT and TAG for filtering, writing FT.SEARCH queries with filters and SORTBY, managing or swapping indexes in production, or troubleshooting slow searches with FT.PROFILE.

redis-clustering

Redis Cluster and replication guidance covering hash tags for multi-key operations, avoiding CROSSSLOT errors, and reading from replicas to scale read-heavy workloads. Use when designing keys for a sharded Redis Cluster, debugging CROSSSLOT errors on MGET / SDIFF / pipelines, configuring a multi-key transaction in a cluster, or routing reads to replicas for caches, analytics, or dashboards.
