## What it is
Rueidis is a fast Redis client library for Go with auto pipelining and server-assisted client-side caching. It also provides distributed locks, generic object mapping, OpenTelemetry integration, and support for Redis Cluster, Sentinel, and Redis modules.

## Use cases
- connect to redis from a go application
- speed up redis throughput with auto pipelining
- cache redis responses on the client side
- implement distributed locks in go
- use redis cluster or sentinel from go
- add tracing to redis calls with opentelemetry
- use redis pub/sub and streams in go

## When to choose
- you are building a Go service that talks to Redis and want high performance
- you need server-assisted client-side caching or cache-aside helpers
- you need Redis Cluster, Sentinel, or module support in Go
- you want a type-safe command builder API

## When to avoid
- your application is not written in Go
- you need a Redis server rather than a client
- you depend on the go-redis API and don't want an adapter layer
