Supported connection clients
Info about Redis client libraries and supported clients when using the discovery service.

You can connect to Redis Software databases programmatically using client libraries.
Redis client libraries
To connect an application to a Redis database hosted by Redis 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 the Redis Software quickstart.
Note: You cannot use client libraries to configure Redis Software. Instead, use:
- The Redis Software Cluster Manager UI
- The REST API
- Command-line utilities, such as
rladmin
Discovery service
All recommended Redis client libraries support the Redis Sentinel API, so you can use any of them with the discovery service.
If you need to use a client that doesn't support Sentinel, you can use Sentinel Tunnel to discover the current primary Redis endpoint with Sentinel and create a TCP tunnel between a local port on the client and the primary endpoint.
