Node-Redis is the official, modern, high-performance Redis client for Node.js, written in TypeScript. It ships as a monorepo of packages covering core Redis commands plus Redis Stack modules like JSON, search, and probabilistic data structures.

Use cases

• connect to redis from nodejs
• cache api responses in node
• use redis pub/sub for realtime messaging
• run redis queries with RediSearch from node
• store and query JSON documents in redis
• connect to a redis cluster
• use bloom filters in nodejs

When to choose

• you need the official, actively maintained Redis client for Node.js
• you want TypeScript types and Redis Stack module support (JSON, search, bloom)
• you need cluster support and high performance

When to avoid

• you use ioredis-specific APIs or Lua-heavy legacy code built on another client
• your runtime is not Node.js (e.g. browser or Deno without compatible shims)
