Feature descriptions
The following table briefly describes each feature shown in the earlier tables.
Feature name/capability
Description
Active-Active (CRDB)
Compatible with Active-Active (CRDB) databases
Backup/Restore
Supports import and export features
Clustering
Compatible with sharded databases and shard migration
Custom hashing policy
Compatible with databases using custom hashing policies
Eviction expiration
Allows data to be evicted when the database reaches memory limits
Failover/migration
Compatible with primary/replica failover and the migration of shards between nodes within the cluster
Internode encryption
Compatible with encryption on the data plane
Persistence (AOF)
Compatible with databases using AoF persistence
Persistence (snapshot)
Compatible with databases using snapshot persistence
Auto Tiering
Compatible with Auto Tiering
Redis Flex
Compatible with Redis Flex
Replica Of
Compatible with Active-Passive replication
Reshard/rebalance
Compatible with database scaling for clustered databases, which redistributes data between the new shards.

-
With the exception of JSON, you currently cannot combine Active-Active with Redis Open Source features in Redis Cloud. ↩︎ ↩︎
-
You cannot use search and query with the OSS Cluster API. This limitation was fixed in Redis Software version 8.0. ↩︎
-
You currently cannot combine Auto Tiering with Redis Open Source features in Redis Cloud. ↩︎ ↩︎
-
RediSearch version 1.6 supported Replica Of only between databases with the same number of shards. This limitation was fixed in v2.0. ↩︎
-
Although time series are compatible with Auto Tiering, the entire series either lives in RAM or on flash. ↩︎
