## What it is
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)

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: stable
- function: database-driver, caching, search-engine
- domain: databases, backend, developer-tools
- platform: cross-platform
- tags: redis-client, redis-cluster, typescript, pub-sub, key-value-store, search, nodejs
