    (Optional) A redis client in a programming language of your preference, I've used in Python, aioredis, in Go go-redis/redis and in C hiredis. The best documentation is with the Python guys, in my opinion of course, but the three of them are pretty straightforward, with many examples on their source code. Looking at the test folder, could also give you an idea of how to use the library.
