About RedisInsight
Redis Insight is a graphical client for Redis, published by Redis. It helps developers design, build and tune applications by letting them browse, filter and visualize key-value data and view values in formats such as JSON, Hex and ASCII.
It offers create, read, update and delete support for lists, hashes, strings, sets, sorted sets, streams and JSON, plus management of vector sets, including similarity search. A Workbench provides a command-line interface with command auto-complete, while Profiler shows commands sent to Redis in real time and SlowLog highlights slow operations. Pub/Sub support, bulk deletion by filter and in-context recommendations for performance and memory use round out the tool, along with interactive tutorials.
The application is built with Electron, the Monaco editor and Node.js, and it works with Redis modules. The repository licence is listed as non-standard rather than a common open-source licence, so check the repository for the exact terms before redistributing.
