## What it is
aioredis is an asyncio (PEP 3156) Redis client library for Python providing low-level and high-level APIs, connection pooling, pipelining, Pub/Sub, Sentinel, ACL, and Streams support. The project has been merged into redis-py (4.2.0+) as redis.asyncio and is no longer maintained.

## Use cases
- use redis from async python code
- asyncio redis client with connection pooling
- pub/sub messaging with redis in async apps
- redis sentinel support for asyncio applications
- pipeline and multi/exec transactions over async redis
- migrate aioredis imports to redis.asyncio

## When to choose
- maintaining legacy code that already depends on aioredis
- reading or auditing an existing codebase using aioredis

## When to avoid
- starting any new project - use redis-py's redis.asyncio instead
- you need Redis Cluster support
- you need support for Python 3.11+ or recent Redis server versions

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: abandoned
- function: database-driver, caching
- domain: databases, backend, developer-tools
- platform: python, cross-platform
