Windows builds of the official Redis in-memory key-value database, compiled from upstream source and packaged with a RedisService.exe helper for installing Redis as a native Windows service. It supports recent Redis versions (6.0 through 8.0) with data persistence and configurable service options.

Use cases

• run redis on windows
• install redis as a windows service
• local redis cache for windows development
• redis server for windows without wsl
• persist redis data on windows
• run redis 7 or 8 on windows

When to choose

• you need Redis natively on Windows without WSL or Docker
• you want Redis running as a managed Windows service with automatic startup
• you need recent Redis versions (6.x-8.x) on Windows

When to avoid

• you are deploying to production on Linux, where official Redis is the better choice
• you need Windows Subsystem for Linux fidelity or features requiring Unix sockets
• you require official Microsoft support for the Windows port
