Redis Insight
What it is
Redis Insight is a free developer tool for building, debugging, managing, and visualizing Redis data through a graphical interface and command line. Its Browser supports create, read, update, and delete operations, batch actions, filtering, slow-log inspection, command profiling, and database analysis. Workbench provides Redis commands with syntax highlighting and autocomplete, including schema-aware assistance for Redis Search. Redis Copilot can answer general Redis questions and help form search queries in natural language using the user's data context. The tool connects to Redis Open Source, Redis Software, Redis Cloud, Azure Managed Redis, Azure Cache for Redis, and Redis deployments on AWS or GCP; it also supports RDI pipelines. Redis Insight can run in a browser, on desktop, in Docker or Kubernetes, or on Amazon EC2. Custom visualization plugins and the Redis for VS Code plugin are also supported. Sensitive information such as database passwords and Workbench history is stored locally; Docker users can configure an encryption key. Telemetry is opt-in, and Redis says collected data is anonymized. The Redis Insight API is documented as available only when Redis Insight runs in Docker.
