A Ruby gem that maps Redis data types (counters, lists, sets, sorted sets, hashes, locks) directly onto Ruby objects via a simple include, providing atomic operations on individual Redis structures. It integrates naturally with ActiveRecord models while explicitly positioning itself as not an ORM.

Use cases

• add atomic counters to Ruby models backed by Redis
• use Redis sets and sorted sets as first-class Ruby objects
• implement distributed locks in Ruby with redis_lock
• store lists and hashes in Redis without writing raw commands
• add Redis-backed data structures to Rails ActiveRecord models
• manage Redis key naming and migration for nested Ruby classes

When to choose

• you want idiomatic Ruby wrappers around Redis data types with atomic operations
• you need counters, sets, lists, or locks in a Rails/Sinatra app without a full ORM
• you want fine-grained control over individual Redis structures rather than object persistence

When to avoid

• you need a full object-relational mapper that persists entire model objects to Redis
• your project does not use Ruby
• you want automatic schema management or migrations for complex object graphs
