Redis 7.2 Sets New Standard for Developers to Harness the Power of Real-Time Data

Redis Enterprise 7.2 introduces scalable search to its vector database capabilities, delivering even higher queries per second, furthering its best-in-class performance

Newly supported client libraries and programmability enable developers to be more productive, work seamlessly across any Redis distribution

New Auto Tiering hosts large datasets across memory and SSD with more than twice the performance of previous versions 

Redis Data Integration simplifies app design and common integration patterns without code

Mountain View, August 15, 2023—Redis, Inc. announced today the unified release of Redis 7.2 across all of the company’s products and services, including open source, source-available, commercial cloud, software, and Kubernetes distributions. Redis Enterprise 7.2 cloud and software products preview a scalable search feature which delivers even greater performance for query and search use cases, including vector similarity search (VSS). 

Redis 7.2 raises the bar for ease-of-use across the board from new core Redis capabilities to tooling while ensuring that the clients, integrations, and documentation deliver a seamless, unified experience. Additionally, with the growing challenges of building generative AI applications, Redis Enterprise has been enhanced to store vector embeddings while providing a high-performance index and query search engine.

Any Redis practitioner can now build better, faster, and more confidently, taking advantage of:

“Redis 7.2 is an exciting release because we’ve wrapped our arms around the end-to-end Redis experience and made it a top priority to ensure the tooling, integrations, and control users require to match the seamless ease-of-use that anyone who loves Redis expects,” said Rowan Trollope, CEO at Redis. “Redis has also been an early mover in the emergence of vector database technology. Scalable search further optimizes the processing of low-latency vector workloads with a robust and performant search engine to make it easy for developers to build generative AI applications.”

“As enterprises continue to look for ways to increase their velocity, many eyes are beginning to turn to developer experience as better developer experiences lead to happier and faster developers. Databases are no exception to this trend,” said Stephen O’Grady, Principal Analyst with RedMonk. “One of the most important ways databases can improve their developer experience is by becoming more versatile by way of the addition of new capabilities and tools. By leveraging its broad developer community, Redis is looking to deliver a more versatile database and thus a better developer experience.”

“Docugami’s Generative AI for Business Documents requires incredible speed and reliability for our Business Document Foundation Model and massively scalable document processing pipeline using Apache Spark,” said Jean Paoli, CEO and co-founder of Docugami, the industry leader in generative AI for business documents. “With Redis Enterprise as our vector database and our backing data store for Apache Spark, we’ve achieved superior latency, throughput, and embedding search result accuracy. Redis is helping us turn dense, lengthy documents into valuable data as a Document XML Knowledge Graph for our customers at massive scale.”

“iFood has been successfully managing terabytes of data with Redis Enterprise Cloud for our feature store databases,” said Daniel Galinkin, head of machine learning engineering at iFood. “High-performance solutions are at the heart of our business, so we are eager to see Redis continue to innovate on their memory capabilities, and we look forward to leveraging Auto Tiering to boost our service and seamless end-user experience.”
