Go-Redis Is Now an Official Redis Client

The open-source Go-Redis client, which provides type-safe API for Redis commands, is now officially supported under the Redis umbrella. Started by Vladimir Mihailenco and driven by community contributors like Dimitrij Denissenko and monkey92t, Go-Redis has become a top choice for developers working with Redis. With version 9 hosted under the official Redis organization on GitHub, it aligns with other officially supported clients such as redis-py, nredisstack, jedis, and node-redis. This move encourages more collaboration and ensures that the library stays updated with latest features. Existing Go-Redis users should update their imports and dependencies to version 9. New features in version 9 include support for RESP3 protocol, a new hooks API, improved pipeline retries, and performance monitoring via OpenTelemetry.
