Installing RediSearch in Azure Cache for Redis

I have an Azure Cache for Redis instance running. I want to perform search on the data stored in the Redis cache using "RediSearch". For using RediSearch, it seems that installation of Redis Stack or a suitable extension is necessary. Is there a way to install this extension to the instance in Azure Cloud.

https://redis.io/docs/stack/search/

Or is there a way to do search without any installations. Please advise.

Solution

  • One cannot add RediSearch to an existing Azure Cache for Redis instance at this time.

    There are several alternatives:

    1. You can spin up an Azure Cache for Redis Enterprise tier instance with RedisSearch capability enabled Provisioning Enterprise Tier resource Provisioning RediSearch
    2. You can spin it up on Redis Cloud, on Azure infrastructure (limited regions) Sign up to Redis Cloud for free Creating a free database on Redis Cloud
    3. You can self-manage by installing Redis Stack on a VM or container instance in Azure
