Supported connection clients

You can connect to Redis Enterprise Software databases programmatically using client libraries.

Redis client libraries

To connect an application to a Redis database hosted by Redis Enterprise Software, use a client library appropriate for your programming language.

You can also use the redis-cli utility to connect to a database from the command line.

For examples of each approach, see Get started with Redis Enterprise Software.

Note: You cannot use client libraries to configure Redis Enterprise Software. Instead, use:

• The Redis Software admin console
• The REST API
• Command-line utilities, such as rladmin

Discovery service

We recommend the following clients when using a discovery service based on the Redis Sentinel API:

• redis-py (Python Redis client)
• Hiredis (C Redis client)
• Jedis (Java Redis client)
• node-redis (Node.js Redis client)

If you need to use another client, you can use Sentinel Tunnel to discover the current Redis master with Sentinel and create a TCP tunnel between a local port on the client and the master.
