## What it is
redis-rs is a high-level Rust client library for Redis, Valkey, and any RESP-compliant server. It offers both sync and async APIs (tokio/smol), flexible type conversion, connection pooling, cluster support, and TLS.

## Use cases
- connect to redis from rust
- use redis as a cache in a rust web app
- publish and subscribe to redis channels in rust
- work with redis streams from rust
- connect to a redis cluster from rust
- store and retrieve typed values in redis
- use valkey with rust

## When to choose
- you are building a Rust application that needs Redis or Valkey
- you need async Redis access with tokio or smol
- you want typed command results and flexible value conversion
- you need cluster, sentinel, TLS, or connection pooling support

## When to avoid
- you use a language other than Rust
- you need a Redis server itself rather than a client
- you need a higher-level ORM-like abstraction over Redis data

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: stable
- function: database-driver, caching, serialization
- domain: databases, developer-tools, backend
- platform: rust, cross-platform
- tags: redis, valkey, resp, async, tokio, cluster, pubsub
