I don't see a comparison to https://github.com/redis/rueidis which is another officially maintained and faster Go redis client.

Good catch.

From inspecting the Ruedis API, they are allocating in the same way as the other popular libaries. There is no way (that I can tell) to stream a large blob from Redis into a Writer of your choosing, so you're always going to allocate the size of the object + miss out on concurrency.

Edit: clarified that I'm referring to ruedis and not redjet

From https://github.com/ammario/redjet#streaming

  To minimize allocations, call (*Result).WriteTo instead of (*Result).Bytes. WriteTo streams the response directly to an io.Writer such as a file or HTTP response.

Sorry, my comment wasn't clear that I was referring to ruedis and not redjet. I edited it.
