RediSQL is a Redis module that embeds a fully functional SQL database (SQLite-based) into Redis, allowing standard SQL queries through the Redis protocol. It supports fast in-memory operations, lightweight per-tenant databases, on-disk persistence, and streaming query results, but is no longer maintained in favor of its successor zeeSQL.

Use cases

• run SQL queries inside Redis
• in-memory SQL database with Redis persistence
• create lightweight per-tenant or per-user databases
• store transient data in SQL and discard it easily
• stream SQL query results to multiple clients via Redis Streams
• expose a SQL database directly to end users instead of building an API

When to choose

• you already run Redis and want SQL capabilities without a separate database server
• you need very fast in-memory SQL inserts (up to 130k/sec)
• you want many small isolated SQL databases for tenants or users
• you want Redis RDB/AOF persistence backing a SQL engine

When to avoid

• you need a maintained project - it is explicitly unmaintained in favor of zeeSQL
• you need a general-purpose relational database with full SQL feature set like Postgres
• you cannot run Redis modules or load third-party binaries
• you need strict licensing clarity - the license is non-standard
