Packs for Redis modules into a distributable format
Decision gist · record as of 2026-08-14
Yes, if you develop or distribute Redis modules. The tool solves a real packaging problem for the Redis ecosystem with low install friction, active maintenance, and no known vulnerabilities. The BSD-2-Clause license is permissive. Install only if you actually need to package Redis modules; it is not a general-purpose tool.AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying
Before you install
- redis-server must be on your PATH before running ramp commands.
- Low friction install with five straightforward runtime dependencies.
- Active maintenance with a recent release.

What it is and what it does
RAMP is a command-line tool that packages Redis modules into distributable .zip archives containing the compiled module, metadata, and optional dependencies. It gathers module information—name, command list, version, and capabilities—and bundles them in a format ready for distribution and installation. The tool supports both manifest-based configuration (via YAML) and direct command-line arguments, making it suitable for both scripted CI/CD workflows and manual packaging.
The package depends on PyYAML, click, distro, redis, and semantic-version to handle configuration parsing, CLI interaction, OS detection, Redis communication, and version management. It targets Python 3.7 through 3.14 and is actively maintained. RAMP is primarily useful for Redis module developers who need to standardize and automate the packaging workflow before publishing modules to registries or internal repositories.
Use it for
- Package a custom Redis module for distribution to team members or public registries.
- Automate Redis module packaging in CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, etc.) with manifest-driven configuration.
- Bundle a Redis module with its runtime dependencies for reproducible deployment across environments.
- Validate and document module metadata (author, license, capabilities, minimum Redis version) before release.
- Create distributable archives for Redis modules that declare specific capabilities like clustering or persistence support.
