redis-plus-plus is a C++11 Redis client library built on hiredis, supporting most Redis commands plus Valkey, DragonflyDB, and KeyDB via RESP. It offers connection pooling, pipelines, transactions, pub/sub, Redis Cluster and Sentinel support, TLS, and sync, async, and coroutine interfaces.

Use cases

• connect to redis from c++
• use redis cluster in a c++ application
• implement distributed locks with redlock in c++
• publish and subscribe to redis channels from c++
• pipeline redis commands for performance
• connect to redis sentinel for high availability
• use redis streams from c++
• cache data in redis from a c++ service

When to choose

• you need a modern, thread-safe C++ Redis client with C++11 compatibility
• your app must work with Redis Cluster, Sentinel, or Redis-compatible stores like Valkey or DragonflyDB
• you need async or coroutine-based Redis access in C++
• you want TLS, pub/sub, pipelines, transactions, and Redlock in one library

When to avoid

• you are not programming in C++ or need bindings for another language
• you need a high-level ORM-like abstraction over Redis data structures
• your project cannot depend on hiredis or manage native C++ dependencies
