Read full descriptionHide full description
This application acts as a tool for developers, database managers, and others alike to perform Redis functions and HTTP Requests... All at the push of a button! It can come very handy in some situations where a specific HTTP request needs to be made, or a value inside of a Redis database needs to be set or read, without the need to type all the necessary commands into a terminal or other application.
