Welcome to “What’s new in two,” your quick hit of Redis releases you might have missed in the past month. We’re covering the latest developments from February and expanding on what I covered in our latest video. Press play above if you’d rather watch than read. Let’s get started.
First up, the biggest news of this month’s edition is our private preview of Redis 8.0-M03, which is our third milestone of Redis 8. M03 brings additional performance improvements for single-core and multi-core environments by using a new asynchronous I/O threading implementation and an improved replication mechanism, making this release more performant and robust than any previous Redis release. Check out the release blog to learn more and how to get access.
Next, we’re excited to announce the private preview for RDI on Redis Cloud. Up until now, RDI has just been available for Redis Software (our on-prem offering) and this is our first step in bringing that awesome tool to our cloud customers. If you’re unfamiliar, RDI is our no-code way of syncing data from external databases with Redis in near real-time. If you want to sign up for this private preview, email us at rdi_preview@redis.com.
We released a significant update to RedisVL, our Python-based vector library based for real-time RAG, vector similarity search, agentic memory structures, and more. This new release features core stability and performance improvements, along with support for Redis 8, Python 3.13, new INT 8 and UNIT8 vector datatypes, and much more. Get your hands on it here. Or check out the release notes or docs.
Lastly, we released a robust integration for Redis with LangChain, The langchain-redis package available on Python makes it incredibly simple to use Redis for production-grade vector search, caching, and conversational state management in your LangChain apps. Get started here or check out the source and docs.
That wraps up this month’s “What’s new in two.” We’ve covered the latest Redis features and improvements from February. Whether you prefer watching or reading, catch more valuable updates in my next two-minute episode. And if you missed last month’s update, two minutes is all you need to catch up. See you next time.
