Overview
redis-rs is a Rust client for Redis, Valkey, and other RESP-compatible servers. It provides typed command traits, synchronous and asynchronous connections, cluster support, TLS, and optional module APIs.
Features and best fit
Based on official documentation; not hands-on tested · Content checked:
Key features
Map Redis commands into Rust types with TypedCommands and Commands
TypedCommands provides opinionated result types for common commands, while Commands uses FromRedisValue for flexible conversion. Manual command construction and pipelines remain available.
Sources: [2]
Best fit
Fits Rust backends using Redis or Valkey for caching, sessions, and shared state
It works across simple key/value operations, pipelines, clusters, Pub/Sub, and module commands while letting applications choose synchronous or asynchronous operation.
Sources: [2]
Before adoption
Check Rust 1.88+, server compatibility, blocking commands, and cluster patches
redis 1.7.1 requires Rust 1.88 and its CI covers Redis 6+ and Valkey 7+. Version 1.7.1 fixes READONLY handling for unsupported servers and an async cluster refresh race that could deadlock, so cluster deployments should stay current on patch releases.

Supplemental curator note
redis-rs supports both synchronous and asynchronous access in one client library. Async MultiplexedConnection values are cheap to clone and share, so non-blocking workloads do not necessarily require a traditional connection pool.
Try it in 3 steps
- 1
Clone the reviewed redis-rs release
Clone redis-rs 1.7.1. Rust 1.88 or newer, Make, and Redis tooling are required.
git clone --depth 1 --branch redis-1.7.1 https://github.com/redis-rs/redis-rs.git && cd redis-rs - 2
Build the core crate
Use the build command documented in the project development guide to compile the redis crate.
make build - 3
Run the basic test suite
Run the documented basic tests. Redis tooling must be discoverable; upstream CI covers Redis 6+ and Valkey 7+.
make test
