go-redis is the official Redis client library for the Go programming language, providing a straightforward interface for interacting with Redis servers including standalone, cluster, and sentinel setups. It supports recent Redis releases and features like the new array data type commands.

Use cases

• connect to redis from a go application
• use redis for caching in golang
• implement pub/sub messaging with redis in go
• work with redis cluster from go
• store and retrieve session data in redis
• use redis streams for event-driven messaging in go

When to choose

• you are building a Go application that needs to talk to Redis
• you want the official, actively maintained Redis client for Go
• you need support for Redis cluster, sentinel, or the latest Redis 8.x features

When to avoid

• your application is not written in Go
• you need a different database than Redis
• you only need a CLI tool to inspect Redis data rather than a client library
