For this article, I will be using a non-clustered connection to show you the basic operations of the Redis connector in Anypoint Studio.

It is used for various use cases such as caching a user profile, creating a leaderboard, tracking real-time activities on a website, implementing a spam filtering system, using it as a message queue, and more. Redis is an open-source key-value store. It uses memory to store its data most of the time. It is fast because it stores data in memory instead of disk. One can easily create their account by going to the Redis lab website and configuring the necessary details. Once you have created your account, it will provide you with the endpoint and password that the Mulesoft Redis connector will use to use the Redis Database. Redis Connector is not present in the Mule Palette by default. You need to go to the Palette and then search in exchange to get it in the studio and use it. Make sure you always import the latest version of the connector from the exchange. Just click on the drop-down in the version column to see all the available versions of the connector. Once the Redis connector is available in the studio, you can perform various operations provided by the connector by configuring the Redis connector with your Redis account. Redis provides you with 3 types of connections to connect to your Redis database: You can read more about the connections from the Mulesoft document provided here: https://docs.
