## What it is
Kredis is a Ruby library that wraps Redis data structures into higher-level, typed objects like counters, lists, sets, and scalars. It integrates with Active Model and Active Record via a declarative DSL for using Redis-backed attributes in Rails applications.

## Use cases
- store typed values in redis from rails
- use redis-backed attributes on active record models
- implement counters and flags with redis
- run parallel tests against redis without key collisions
- scale redis across multiple instances with yaml config

## When to choose
- you're building a Rails app and want ergonomic, typed Redis data structures
- you need Redis-backed model attributes with a declarative DSL
- you want namespaced keys for safe parallel testing

## When to avoid
- you're not using Ruby or Rails
- you need raw, low-level Redis command access
- you use a different cache/data-store than Redis

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: caching, serialization, developer-tools
- domain: databases, web-development, backend
- platform: ruby
- tags: redis, active-record, rails, data-structures, typed-attributes, web-server
