What problem does it solve?

Go services integrating Redis often suffer from boilerplate, inconsistent patterns, and maintenance overhead. This Skill provides a set of best practices to write clean, testable, and high-performance Redis-backed Go systems.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Interface Segregation: Use small interfaces for storage to improve testability and modularity.
• Dependency Injection: Centralize Redis clients and services for easier swapping and testing.
• Lua Scripting & Pipelines: Leverage Lua for atomic operations and pipelines to reduce RTT.
• Observability & Testing: Guidance on logging, tracing, and test strategies including miniredis usage. Example: building a high-throughput queue worker using Redis streams or lists with deterministic behavior.

Quick Start

Install and wire a Redis client, implement a storage interface, and write a minimal worker that enqueues and processes tasks. Run unit tests with miniredis and perform a Docker-based integration test to validate end-to-end behavior.
