Detect Redis in any GitHub repo

Redis is an in-memory data store used as a cache, message broker, rate limiter and session store.

Why show Redis on your README

Caches and queues are invisible from the outside; listing Redis explains part of the runtime architecture.

How Redis is detected

Stack Fingerprint reads the repo's full file tree in one GitHub API call and flags Redis when it finds any of these:

  • Files or folders: redis.conf
  • Dependencies in package.json: redis, ioredis
  • Dependencies in Python (requirements.txt / pyproject.toml): redis

Redis README badge

A static badge you can paste anywhere in Markdown:

Redis badge

![Redis](https://img.shields.io/badge/Redis-DC382D?style=for-the-badge&logo=redis&logoColor=white)

Or let the repo describe itself

Static badges go stale the moment you swap a dependency. A Stack Fingerprint card is generated from the repo, so Redis (and everything around it) appears or disappears on its own:

Replace OWNER/REPO with your repository, or open the builder to pick a theme and layout.
