What is it?

StackExchange.Redis is a .NET client for talking to Redis and other RESP-compatible servers. Besides Redis itself, it is intended to work with Azure Managed Redis, Garnet, Valkey and AWS ElastiCache, and with any server that exposes a Redis-like API.

The library is distributed as the StackExchange.Redis NuGet package. Its documentation is hosted at seredis.dev, which covers configuration and usage. The project is written in C# and released under the MIT license.

Use it when a .NET application needs to read and write data in a Redis-compatible store, for example for caching, session storage or messaging. Servers outside the list of named products are not formally supported, but the project invites issue reports for compatibility problems.
