Does redis support UDP between server and client

Question

I want to send some log messages to the redis server. I want to use udp protocol to do this.

Does redis support UDP between server and client?

Answer 1

No, the Redis protocol, RESP, is TCP based:

Networking layer

A client connects to a Redis server creating a TCP connection to the port 6379.

While RESP is technically non-TCP specific, in the context of Redis the protocol is only used with TCP connections (or equivalent stream oriented connections like Unix sockets).

What you could do is use a UDP proxy, but I'm not familiar with anything like that.
