Redis Best Practices
Comprehensive performance optimization guide for Redis, including Redis Query Engine, vector search, and semantic caching. Contains rules across 11 categories, prioritized by impact to guide automated optimization and code generation.
When to Apply
Reference these guidelines when:
- Designing Redis data models and key structures
- Implementing caching, sessions, or real-time features
- Using Redis Query Engine (FT.CREATE, FT.SEARCH, FT.AGGREGATE)
- Building vector search or RAG applications with RedisVL
- Implementing semantic caching with LangCache
- Optimizing Redis performance and memory usage
