redis-rb is the official Ruby client library for Redis, exposing Redis commands through an idiomatic Ruby API that mirrors the server's command names. It supports RESP3 protocol negotiation, authentication, ACLs, and connections via TCP or Unix sockets.

Use cases

• connect to redis from ruby
• use redis for caching in a rails app
• store and retrieve key-value data in ruby
• use redis pub/sub from ruby
• connect to a password-protected redis instance in ruby

When to choose

• you're building a Ruby application that needs Redis
• you want a client that maps one-to-one to Redis commands
• you need RESP3 support with automatic fallback to older servers

When to avoid

• you're using a language other than Ruby
• you need an ORM-style abstraction over Redis data structures
• you're using Ruby older than 3.2
