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 assistance for Redis Search. Redis Copilot answers general Redis questions and helps construct 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. It can run in a browser, as a desktop app, in Docker or Kubernetes, or on Amazon EC2. Custom visualization plugins are supported. Sensitive information, including 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.
