Redis (/ˈrɛdɪs/;[8][9] Remote Dictionary Server)[8] is an in-memory key–value database, used as a distributed cache and message broker, with optional durability.[10] Because it holds all data in memory and because of its design, Redis offers low-latency reads and writes, making it particularly suitable for use cases that require a cache. Redis is the most popular NoSQL database,[11][12][13] and one of the most popular databases overall.[14]
The project was developed and maintained by Salvatore Sanfilippo, starting in 2009.[15] From 2015 until 2020, he led a project core team sponsored by Redis Ltd.[16] Salvatore Sanfilippo left Redis as the maintainer in 2020.[17] In 2021 Redis Labs dropped the Labs from its name and now is known simply as "Redis".[18]
In 2018, some modules for Redis adopted a modified Apache 2.0 with a Commons Clause.[19] In 2024, the main Redis code switched from the open-source BSD-3 license to being dual-licensed under the Redis Source Available License v2 and the Server Side Public License v1.[6] On May 1, 2025, Redis became tri-licensed beginning with version 8.0, with the GNU Affero General Public License as the third option.[7]
Redis is written in ANSI C and works in most POSIX systems like Linux, *BSD, OS X without external dependencies.
