## What it is
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

## Facets
- artifact type: library
