Redis Cloud changelog (March 2025)

New features, enhancements, and other changes added to Redis Cloud during March 2025.

New features

Redis Insight on Redis Cloud

Users with select Redis Cloud Essentials databases can now open a browser-based version of Redis Insight directly from Redis Cloud. See Connect to your database to learn how to open Redis Insight from Redis Cloud.

This browser-based version of Redis Insight has a subset of the features of Redis Insight on desktop. For more information, see Open with Redis Insight on Redis Cloud.

Redis hashing policy

Accounts created after March 31, 2025, can select the new Redis hashing policy for their databases when creating a new database.

The Redis hashing policy is identical to the hashing policy used by Redis Community Edition. This policy is recommended for most users. Select it if any of the following conditions apply:

• This is your first Redis Cloud account, and you are starting fresh.
• You are migrating data from Redis Community Edition or other Redis-managed platforms.
• Your application does not use hashtags in database key names.
• Your application uses binary data as key names.

See Clustering for more information.

Deprecations

• The Custom hashing policy is no longer available for accounts created after March 31, 2025. For all other accounts, this policy is not recommended and will be deprecated in the future. Only select a custom hashing policy if you are already using a custom hashing policy with your existing Redis Cloud databases.
