Components
Memory Context Provider
The RedisProvider enables persistent context & memory capabilities for your agents, allowing them to remember user preferences and conversation context across sessions and threads.
Basic Usage Examples
Review the set of getting started examples for using the Redis context provider.
Redis Chat Message Store
The RedisChatMessageStore provides persistent conversation storage using Redis Lists, enabling chat history to survive application restarts and support distributed applications.
Key Features
- Persistent Storage: Messages survive application restarts
- Thread Isolation: Each conversation thread has its own Redis key
- Message Limits: Configurable automatic trimming of old messages
- Serialization Support: Full compatibility with Agent Framework thread serialization
- Production Ready: Connection pooling, error handling, and performance optimized
Basic Usage Examples
See the complete Redis chat message store examples including:
- User session management
- Conversation persistence across restarts
- Thread serialization and deserialization
- Automatic message trimming
- Error handling patterns
