Redis Data Integration (RDI) is a [change data capture](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Change_data_capture) (CDC) system that tracks changes to the data in a non-Redis source database and makes corresponding changes to a Redis target database. You can use the target as a cache to improve performance because it will typically handle read queries much faster than the source.

See the main [RDI docs section](https://redis.io/docs/latest/integrate/redis-data-integration)
under [Libraries and tools](https://redis.io/docs/latest/integrate) to learn how to install and use RDI on your own servers.  See the
[Redis Cloud RDI guide](https://redis.io/docs/latest/operate/rc/rdi) to learn how to set up RDI for a cloud database.
