Redis

Overview

Redis is an open-source, in-memory data store used as a database, cache, and message broker. It supports data structures like strings, lists, sets, hashes, sorted sets, and streams. Redis is available as a managed service on Redis Cloud, Amazon ElastiCache, Azure Cache for Redis, and Google Memorystore.

Driver

Crate: redis
Version: 1.2

Connection fields

Field	Description
Host	Hostname or IP address of the Redis server.
Port	TCP port the server listens on.
Database	Redis database number (0–15).
User	ACL username (Redis 6.0+).
Password	Authentication password. Stored in the macOS Keychain.
SSL Mode	One of `disable`, `prefer`, `require`, `verify-ca`, or `verify-full`.
Options	Additional connection parameters as `key1=val1&key2=val2`.

All connections also support an optional SSH tunnel. Configure the bastion host, port, user, and private key file under the SSH section of the connection form. See SSH tunnels for details.

URI format

Instead of filling in each field individually, you can paste a connection URI into the Paste URI field. Arris parses the URI and populates all fields automatically.

redis://user:password@host:6379/0

SSL & TLS

Redis supports five SSL modes. Arris defaults to prefer, which uses SSL if the server supports it but falls back to unencrypted if not.

SSL Mode	Behavior
`disable`	Never use SSL. Not recommended for production.
`prefer`	Use SSL if available, fall back to unencrypted.
`require`	Always use SSL. Fail if the server does not support it.
`verify-ca`	Require SSL and verify the server certificate against a CA.
`verify-full`	Require SSL, verify the CA, and verify the server hostname matches the certificate.

Schema browser

Once connected, Arris scans the keyspace and organizes keys by their data type. Databases act as top-level containers in the tree.

The schema tree displays the following key types, grouped by category:

Strings — string keys
Lists — list keys
Sets — set keys
Hashes — hash keys
Sorted Sets — sorted set (zset) keys
Streams — stream keys
Keys — other key types

Double-click any key to open it in a new tab with browse mode.

Query modes

Arris queries Redis in two modes, switched per editor tab.

SQL mode — read-only SELECT statements browse keys and values, optionally scoped to a logical database with a dbN. prefix on the source.
Native mode — run raw Redis commands such as GET key, HGETALL hash, or SET key value, including writes.

Supported SQL commands

Command	Notes
`SELECT`	Read keys and values across logical databases (`db0`, `db1`, …).

Unsupported SQL commands

Command	Notes
`INSERT`	Write with native commands (`SET`, `HSET`, …).
`UPDATE`	Write with native commands (`SET`, `HSET`, …).
`DELETE`	Remove keys with the native `DEL` command.
`CREATE` / `DROP`	Not applicable to Redis key-value data.
