Redis Software is a self-managed, enterprise-grade version of Redis.
With Redis Software, you get many enterprise-grade capabilities, including:
You can run self-managed Redis Software in an on-premises data center or on your preferred cloud platform.
If you prefer a fully managed Redis database-as-a-service, available on major public cloud services, consider setting up a [Redis Cloud]({{<relref "/operate/rc">}}) subscription. You can try Redis Cloud for free.
Build a small-scale cluster with the Redis Software container image.
[Install & set up]({{< relref "/operate/rs/installing-upgrading" >}}) a Redis Software cluster.
Create and manage a [Redis database]({{< relref "/operate/rs/databases" >}}) on a cluster.
[Manage secure connections]({{< relref "/operate/rs/security" >}}) to the cluster and databases.
Use command-line utilities and the REST API to manage the cluster and databases.
You can use the version selector in the navigation menu to view documentation for Redis Software versions 7.4 and later.
