Now, there is a Navicat administration and development client specifically for Redis. Navicat for Redis offers users an easy-to-access visual interface to visualize and optimize Redis data. It includes a rich set of features for making routine management tasks simpler, easier and more efficient than ever before. It can connect to any local/remote Redis server, and is compatible with cloud databases like Redis Enterprise Cloud, Amazon ElastiCache, Google Memorystore and Microsoft Azure. This blog will outline some of Navicat for Redis's most important features.
Data Viewer
Beyond a simple key/value store, Redis is actually a data structures server with support for many different kinds of values. Viewing such complex data structures can be a challenge, but not with Navicat for Redis's data viewer; you can use it to view, edit, search and sort keys and data via the classic spreadsheet-like Grid View, Tree View, all with a built-in editor. Navicat provides you with the tools you need to manage your data in both a smooth and efficient manner.
