## What it is
An unofficial native Windows port of Redis 5.0.14 (and 4.0.14), the in-memory key-value database with persistence, supporting strings, lists, sets, sorted sets, hashes, streams, and HyperLogLogs. It merges the archived Microsoft Open Tech port with upstream Redis, builds with Visual Studio 2019, and ships installers and Windows service support.

## Use cases
- run redis on windows natively
- install redis as a windows service
- local redis cache for windows development
- in-memory key-value store on windows without WSL
- redis msi installer for windows
- persist key-value data to disk on windows

## When to choose
- you need Redis running natively on Windows without Docker or WSL
- you want an MSI installer or Windows service integration
- you need Redis 4.x or 5.x feature compatibility on Windows

## When to avoid
- you need the latest Redis features (6.x/7.x/8.x) such as ACLs, functions, or vector search
- you run Linux, macOS, or containers where official Redis is available
- you need official vendor support or production-grade guarantees
