## What it is
Redigo is a Go client library for the Redis and Valkey databases, providing a Print-like API supporting all Redis commands. It includes connection pooling, pipelining, publish/subscribe, and Lua script helpers with optimistic EVALSHA usage.

## Use cases
- connect to redis from go
- use redis as a cache in a go application
- pool redis connections in go
- run redis pub/sub in go
- execute redis lua scripts from go
- pipeline redis commands in go

## When to choose
- you need a mature, dependency-free Go client for Redis or Valkey
- you want connection pooling and pipelining out of the box
- you prefer a low-level API with full command coverage

## When to avoid
- you need built-in Redis Cluster or Sentinel support without third-party add-ons
- you prefer a higher-level client like go-redis with richer abstractions

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: stable
- function: database-driver, caching, message-queue
- domain: databases, backend, developer-tools
- platform: go, windows, cross-platform
- tags: redis, valkey, connection-pooling, pub-sub, pipelining, linux, macos
