## What it is
ioredis is a robust, performance-focused, full-featured Redis client for Node.js written in TypeScript. It supports Redis Cluster, Sentinel, Streams, Pub/Sub, pipelining, and Lua scripting with a promise/callback-friendly API.

## Use cases
- connect to redis from node.js
- use redis cluster in nodejs app
- redis pub/sub messaging
- run lua scripts on redis
- redis sentinel failover client
- cache data in redis from node
- redis streams consumer in javascript

## When to choose
- you need Redis Cluster, Sentinel, or Streams support in Node.js
- you want a mature, battle-tested client with Lua scripting abstractions
- you need transparent key prefixing and binary Pub/Sub support

## When to avoid
- starting a brand-new project - node-redis is the officially recommended client
- you need Redis Stack modules like search, JSON, or time-series
- you are not using Node.js or a JavaScript runtime

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: database-driver, caching, message-queue
- domain: databases, backend, developer-tools
- platform: cross-platform
- tags: redis-client, redis-cluster, redis-sentinel, pub-sub, lua-scripting, typescript, nodejs
