Microsoft Azure Cache For Redis

Azure Cache for Redis is Microsoft's managed in-memory data store built on the open-source Redis software, used to put a low-latency cache, session store or message broker in front of a slower backing store. This record covers the management (control-plane) REST API — the Microsoft.Cache/redis resource provider on Azure Resource Manager — which creates, scales, secures, backs up and deletes caches across the Basic, Standard, Premium, Enterprise and Enterprise Flash tiers. The Redis data plane itself is plain Redis, spoken with an ordinary Redis client and not described by an OpenAPI. Microsoft announced in October 2025 that every Azure Cache for Redis SKU is retiring: Enterprise and Enterprise Flash on 2027-03-31, Basic, Standard and Premium on 2028-09-30, with Azure Managed Redis as the successor.

Microsoft Azure Cache For Redis publishes 9 APIs on the APIs.io network, including microsoft-azure-cache-for-redis Operations API, Linked Server API, Private Endpoint Connections API, and 6 more. Tagged areas include Azure, Cache, Cloud Infrastructure, Datastore, and In-Memory Database.

The Microsoft Azure Cache For Redis catalog on APIs.io includes 2 event-driven AsyncAPI specifications.

Microsoft Azure Cache For Redis’ developer surface includes authentication, developer portal, pricing, support, engineering blog, documentation, API reference, and 34 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Horizontal (data, software, accessibility, platform) regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.
Create-or-Update Ergonomics applies to this provider. This API accepts writes, so it carries 10 points of the composite. It is scored from the published contracts themselves: whether a caller can create-or-update in one call, whether the write accepts a key the caller already holds, and whether the response says which branch ran. Without that, every write needs a search-and-branch in front of it, and the first time that check is skipped a duplicate record is created. Scored against the observed mean rather than raw — a provider at the catalog average is unchanged by this facet, not penalised by it.
The six quality facets above are damped to 75 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 25. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 75% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.
Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/microsoft-azure-cache-for-redis: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
