Redis 8 introduces major new capabilities with eight additional data structures, including vector set (beta), JSON, time series, and five probabilistic data structures: Bloom filter, Cuckoo filter, Count-Min Sketch, Top-K, and T-Digest. Some of these were previously available as separate modules and are now integrated into Redis Open Source, making it easier than ever to build fast, scalable, real-time applications.

Redis 8 introduces major new capabilities, including eight additional data structures—Vector Set (beta), JSON, Time Series, and five probabilistic data types: Bloom Filter, Cuckoo Filter, Count-Min Sketch, Top-K, and T-Digest. Some of these were previously available only as Redis modules and are now fully integrated into Redis 8, simplifying deployment and unlocking new use cases in real-time analytics, caching, and AI-powered applications.

Redis 8 also includes the Redis Query Engine, enabling advanced secondary indexing, full-text and vector search, and complex queries across JSON and hash data types. This makes Redis a more powerful and flexible real-time data platform for modern apps.

Redis 8 merges Redis Stack and Redis Community Edition into a single unified distribution: Redis Open Source. All previously modular functionality is now built into the Redis Open Source package, eliminating the need to manage separate modules. You now get a single, consistent feature set across all deployments.

#### Vector set [beta]

The new `VECTOR` data structure supports high-dimensional vector similarity search, which is ideal for AI use cases such as semantic search and recommendation systems. Vector set complements Redis’s existing vector search capabilities via the Query Engine and is currently available in beta. APIs and behaviors may change before general availability.

#### JSON
3537
Redis 8 introduces a native JSON data structure, enabling you to store and manipulate hierarchical documents directly. JSONPath expressions are supported for targeted reads and updates. Atomic operations allow modification of individual fields without fetching the entire document, making it ideal for session management, user profiles, and modern web applications.
