## What it is
StackExchange.Redis is a high-performance .NET client library for communicating with Redis and Redis-compatible servers (Valkey, Garnet, ElastiCache, Azure Managed Redis). It uses a multiplexed connection design with full synchronous and asynchronous APIs, cluster support, and transactions.

## Use cases
- connect to redis from c#
- use redis as a cache in asp.net
- redis pub/sub in .net
- connect to redis cluster from dotnet
- use valkey or garnet from c#
- high performance redis client for .net

## When to choose
- you are building .NET applications that need Redis or Redis-compatible servers
- you need high-throughput multiplexed connections shared across threads
- you need cluster, sentinel, pub/sub, or transaction support in C#

## When to avoid
- you are not on a .NET language
- you need a client for a non-Redis database
- you need a Redis server itself rather than a client

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: database-driver, caching, http-client
- domain: databases, backend, developer-tools
- platform: dotnet, c, cross-platform
- tags: redis, resp, redis-client, csharp, multiplexing, pub-sub, nuget
