## What it is
A Kubernetes operator written in Go that creates, configures, and manages highly available Redis deployments with Sentinel-based automatic failover. It exposes a RedisFailover custom resource and supports installation via Helm, Kustomize, or raw manifests.

## Use cases
- run highly available redis on kubernetes
- automate redis sentinel failover in a cluster
- manage redis failover clusters with a kubernetes operator
- deploy redis with automatic failover using helm
- self-healing redis setup on kubernetes
- monitor redis failover clusters with prometheus servicemonitor

## When to choose
- you need redis with sentinel automatic failover managed declaratively on kubernetes
- you want a mature operator with helm/kustomize installation options
- you want prometheus monitoring integration for redis clusters

## When to avoid
- you run redis outside kubernetes
- you need redis cluster mode (sharding) rather than sentinel-based replication
- you only need a simple single-instance redis deployment

## Facets
- artifact type: service
- maturity: active
- function: deployment, container-orchestration, monitoring, self-hosted
- domain: databases, cloud-computing, infrastructure-as-code
- platform: go, self-hosted, cloud
- tags: redis, kubernetes-operator, high-availability, sentinel, automatic-failover, helm-chart, kustomize, crd, devops, containers, kubernetes, docker
