 Storage clients provide a unified interface for interacting with <ApiLink to="class/Dataset">`Dataset`</ApiLink>, <ApiLink to="class/KeyValueStore">`KeyValueStore`</ApiLink>, and <ApiLink to="class/RequestQueue">`RequestQueue`</ApiLink>, regardless of the underlying implementation. They handle operations like creating, reading, updating, and deleting storage instances, as well as managing data persistence and cleanup. This abstraction makes it easy to switch between different environments, such as local development and cloud production setups.

+### Redis storage client
+
+:::warning Experimental feature
+The <ApiLink to="class/RedisStorageClient">`RedisStorageClient`</ApiLink> is experimental. Its API and behavior may change in future releases.
+:::
+
+The <ApiLink to="class/RedisStorageClient">`RedisStorageClient`</ApiLink> provides persistent storage using Redis database. It supports concurrent access from multiple independent clients or processes and uses Redis native data structures for efficient operations.
+
+:::note dependencies
+The <ApiLink to="class/RedisStorageClient">`RedisStorageClient`</ApiLink> is not included in the core Crawlee package.
+To use it, you need to install Crawlee with the Redis extra dependency:
+
+<code>pip install 'crawlee[redis]'</code>
+
+Additionally, Redis version 8.0 or higher is required.
+:::
+
+:::note Redis persistence
+Data persistence in Redis depends on your [database configuration](https://redis.io/docs/latest/operate/oss_and_stack/management/persistence/).
+:::
+
+The client requires either a Redis connection string or a pre-configured Redis client instance. Use a pre-configured client when you need custom Redis settings such as connection pooling, timeouts, or SSL/TLS encryption.

 ## Creating a custom storage client
 
 A storage client consists of two parts: the storage client factory and individual storage type clients. The <ApiLink to="class/StorageClient">`StorageClient`</ApiLink> acts as a factory that creates specific clients (<ApiLink to="class/DatasetClient">`DatasetClient`</ApiLink>, <ApiLink to="class/KeyValueStoreClient">`KeyValueStoreClient`</ApiLink>, <ApiLink to="class/RequestQueueClient">`RequestQueueClient`</ApiLink>) where the actual storage logic is implemented.
