## What it is
A full-featured Redis cache and session backend for Django, built on redis-py. It supports pluggable clients, parsers, and serializers, primary/secondary setups, and raw access to the Redis connection pool.

## Use cases
- use redis as django cache backend
- store django sessions in redis
- configure redis caching with url connection strings
- access raw redis client from django
- support redis sentinel or primary/secondary caching in django

## When to choose
- you need a mature, production-proven Redis cache backend for Django
- you want pluggable serializers/clients and raw Redis access
- you need Redis-backed Django sessions

## When to avoid
- your project does not use Django
- you only need a plain redis-py client without Django integration
- you use a cache backend other than Redis, like memcached

- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: caching, database-driver
- domain: web-development, databases, backend
- platform: python
