Redis Insight
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 work, filtering, slow-log inspection, command profiling, and database analysis. Workbench provides Redis commands with syntax highlighting and autocomplete, including schema-aware help for Redis Search. Redis Copilot answers general Redis questions and can help construct search queries in natural language using the user's data context. Connections include Redis Open Source, Redis Software, Redis Cloud, Azure Managed Redis, Azure Cache for Redis, and Redis running on AWS or GCP; RDI pipelines are supported as well. 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 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 telemetry is anonymized. The API is documented as available only when Redis Insight runs in Docker.
