ReleaseRun Badges for Redis
Live version freshness, EOL status, CVE counts, and health badges for Redis. Embed in your README, docs, or dashboard.

Why Use Redis Health Badges?
Redis sits in your hot path — cache, session store, pub/sub, job queue — and an unpatched version means every one of those surfaces is exposed. A health badge shows your users whether their Redis version is still receiving security patches, without tracking the release blog manually.
ReleaseRun badges go beyond Shields.io. Where Shields.io shows a version number, our badges show security posture: CVE counts, EOL countdowns, and a composite health grade based on freshness (35%), security (35%), and support status (30%).
Common Use Cases
- Client library maintainers: Show which Redis versions your library tests against and flag when any of them drop out of support. Redis 6.x still has a massive install base — when patches stop, users need to see it.
- Platform teams: Embed badges in internal dashboards to track Redis versions across ElastiCache clusters, self-hosted instances, and dev environments. Knowing you’re one CVE away from an emergency upgrade is better than finding out during the incident.
- Infrastructure documentation: Add version health next to connection configuration guides so developers verify they’re targeting a supported Redis version before shipping.
What Makes These Different
Every badge pulls live data from the endoflife.date API and the NIST National Vulnerability Database. Data refreshes every 6 hours. Badges are edge-cached for 5 minutes — fast enough for CI pipelines, monitoring dashboards, and documentation sites.
Redis Versions
Security Overview
CVE vulnerability data is sourced from the NIST National Vulnerability Database (NVD) and refreshed every 6 hours.
Check specific version CVEs using the badge builder above or visit our Redis hub page for detailed security analysis.
Upgrade Guidance
Running an older version of Redis? Here's what to consider when planning your upgrade:
- Check breaking changes in release notes
- Review EOL dates for your current version
- Test in staging before production rollout
- Consider LTS versions for stability
See the official Redis documentation for detailed upgrade instructions.
