^{Originally posted by shamhub October 18, 2023} Go supports client library to talk to Redis memory as cache. https://github.com/redis/go-redis

but,

I learnt that Redis can also be used as RDBMS or Document DB, as mentioned here

Does Go support client library to talk to Redis as RDBMS database?

Hey @shamhub , We are continually expanding the capabilities of go-redis by adding more Redis data types and modules. In go-redis version 9.3.0, we introduced Triggers and Functions, Timeseries, Probabilistic, and JSON modules. The only module we are currently not supporting is RediSearch and we are working on adding it as well.

Hi @ofekshenawa

1. Is Redis(new version) allowed to be a disk-based database? Because, generally Redis is used as in-memory database, limited by RAM size..
2. If yes, Does 9.3 version client library support talking to Redis server hosted as disk based database?
3. If yes, Please share some documentation on using triggers and functions
