## What it is
A Redis cache backend for Django, plugging into Django's cache framework. It supports pluggable serializers, compression, connection options, and Django 3.x.

## Use cases
- use redis as django cache backend
- cache django views with redis
- store django session cache in redis
- compress cached values in django
- use  or msgpack serialization for django cache

## When to choose
- you run Django and want Redis-backed caching with a simple settings integration
- you need pluggable serializers or compression for cached data

## When to avoid
- you use a non-Django framework
- you need advanced Redis features like django-redis's client customization or sentinel support
