## What it is
A repository hosting binary releases of Microsoft's unofficial Windows port of Redis, plus a Vagrant configuration for running native Redis in a VirtualBox VM. It documents several options for Windows developers to run Redis locally, including WSL.

## Use cases
- run redis locally on windows for development
- download redis windows binaries
- set up redis in a vagrant virtualbox vm
- install redis on windows subsystem for linux
- test redis caching without a linux server

## When to choose
- you develop on Windows and need a local Redis instance for testing
- you want prebuilt Redis binaries for Windows without compiling
- you prefer running native Redis in a VM or WSL instead of the outdated Windows port

## When to avoid
- you need Redis for production, where native Linux Redis is recommended
- you need the latest Redis features, since the MS Open Tech port lags behind official releases
- you are not on Windows

## Facets
- artifact type: infra-config
- maturity: maintenance
- function: database, caching, developer-tools
- domain: databases, developer-tools, windows
- platform: windows
- tags: redis, vagrant, msopentech, wsl, windows-port, local-development, linux, docker
