Introduction

redisctl is a command-line tool for managing Redis Cloud and Redis Enterprise deployments.

Features

redisctl provides:

Type-Safe API Clients - Catch errors at compile time
Async Operation Handling - Automatic polling with --wait
Support Package Automation - 10+ minutes → 30 seconds
Profile Management - Secure credential storage
Structured Output - JSON, YAML, or Table with JMESPath
Library-First Architecture - Reusable components

Quick Example

# Configure once
redisctl profile set prod --api-key $KEY --api-secret $SECRET

# Create subscription and wait
redisctl cloud subscription create \
  --name prod \
  --cloud-provider AWS \
  --region us-east-1 \
  --wait

# Everything just works
redisctl cloud database create --subscription $SUB --name mydb --wait

Installation

# Docker (quick start)
docker run ghcr.io/redis-developer/redisctl:latest --help

# macOS/Linux
brew install redis-developer/homebrew-tap/redisctl

# Or download from GitHub releases

See Installation for all methods, or try the Quick Start with Docker.

Architecture

redisctl is built as reusable libraries:

redisctl-config - Profile and credential management
redis-cloud - Cloud API client (21 handlers, 95%+ coverage)
redis-enterprise - Enterprise API client (29 handlers, 100% coverage)
redisctl - CLI binary (thin orchestration layer)

This enables Terraform providers, backup tools, monitoring dashboards, and more.
