About this API
Redis Cloud is the official managed Redis service from Redis Ltd (commercial company behind Redis project, formerly Redis Labs), since 2014. Redis is the world's most popular in-memory key-value database (consistently "most loved" database in StackOverflow developer surveys), used as cache, session, queue, real-time data. Redis Cloud is "Redis official answer to how to deploy Redis" — multi-cloud region choice, enterprise HA (auto-failover), with Redis commercial modules (RedisJSON, RediSearch, RedisTimeSeries, RedisBloom, RedisVL). vs. Upstash: Redis Cloud is "TCP mode + dedicated cluster" suiting steady high-throughput; Upstash is "HTTP + serverless" suiting edge / serverless. Customers: traditional enterprises (finance, e-commerce) high-throughput cache scenarios. Redis commercial modules expanding Redis from cache to search / time series / vector search.
