  "content": "Both Redis Software and [Redis Cloud](https://redis.io/docs/latest/operate/rc) are compatible with Redis Open Source. \n\nRedis contributes extensively to the Redis project and uses it inside of Redis Software and Redis Cloud. As a rule, we adhere to the project's specifications and update both products with the latest version of Redis.\n\n## Redis commands\n\nSee [Compatibility with Redis commands](https://redis.io/docs/latest/operate/rs/references/compatibility/commands) to learn which Redis commands are compatible with Redis Software and Redis Cloud.\n\n## Configuration settings\n\n[Compatibility with Redis configuration settings](https://redis.io/docs/latest/operate/rs/references/compatibility/config-settings) lists the Redis configuration settings supported by Redis Software and Redis Cloud.\n\n## Redis clients\n\nYou can use any standard [Redis client](https://redis.io/docs/latest/develop/clients) with Redis Software and Redis Cloud.\n\n## RESP compatibility\n\nRedis Software and Redis Cloud support RESP2 and RESP3. See [RESP compatibility with Redis Software](https://redis.io/docs/latest/operate/rs/references/compatibility/resp) for more information.\n\n## Client-side caching compatibility\n\nRedis Software and Redis Cloud support [client-side caching](https://redis.io/docs/latest/develop/clients/client-side-caching) for databases with Redis versions 7.4 or later. See [Client-side caching compatibility with Redis Software and Redis Cloud](https://redis.io/docs/latest/operate/rs/references/compatibility/client-side-caching) for more information about compatibility and configuration options.\n\n## Compatibility with open source Redis Cluster API\n\nRedis Software supports [Redis OSS Cluster API](https://redis.io/docs/latest/operate/rs/clusters/optimize/oss-cluster-api) if it is enabled for a database. For more information, see [Enable OSS Cluster API](https://redis.io/docs/latest/operate/rs/databases/configure/oss-cluster-api).\n",
