## What it is
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
