Redis in .NET Routes: Cache, Pub/Sub, Streams with Groups, and Claim Check in a Single Connector

The article introduces the new redb.Route.Redis connector for the .NET platform, which integrates Redis operations into a unified routing architecture. The author notes that in modern integration projects, Redis often performs multiple roles simultaneously: caching, lock management, queueing, and event bus functionality. Typically, this leads to code fragmentation and difficulties in maintaining multiple connections. The new connector allows any Redis operation to be treated as a route step, providing unified telemetry, logging, and connection lifecycle management. Based on the StackExchange.Redis 2.11.8 library, the solution supports Pub/Sub, Streams (including consumer groups), and lists. Using redb.Route.Redis simplifies the integration of Redis into .NET applications, allowing developers to focus on business logic rather than configuring multiple client connections for various data storage and messaging tasks.
