redis-rb
A Ruby client library for Redis that provides an idiomatic interface while matching Redis' API one-to-one.
What is redis-rb?
redis-rb is the official Ruby client library for Redis, providing a native Ruby interface to interact with Redis data stores. It maps Redis commands directly to Ruby methods, allowing developers to execute Redis operations like SET, GET, and pipeline commands using familiar Ruby syntax. The library handles connections, authentication, error handling, and advanced features like Sentinel support and SSL encryption.
Ruby developers building applications that require Redis for caching, session storage, message queues, or real-time data processing. It's particularly useful for Rails applications, background job systems, and any Ruby service needing persistent key-value storage.
Developers choose redis-rb because it's the official, maintained Redis client for Ruby with a stable API, excellent documentation, and full feature parity with Redis. Its idiomatic Ruby design reduces cognitive load while providing advanced capabilities like pipelining, transactions, and high-availability support out of the box.
