Azure Cache for Redis

Azure Cache for Redis is a fully managed in-memory caching service that provides fast data access with low latency and high throughput. It is based on the open-source Redis engine and is designed to improve application performance by offloading database queries and enabling real-time analytics. The service supports multiple data structures, automatic scaling, and high availability with geo-replication options.

Status

Microsoft is transitioning towards Azure Managed Redis as the recommended successor; see the Microsoft documentation for product details. Azure Managed Redis is built on Redis Enterprise, includes advanced modules (RediSearch, RedisJSON, RedisBloom, RedisTimeSeries), and offers active geo-replication and better performance characteristics. New projects should use Azure Managed Redis instead.
