That's a wonderful message because it gives no idea whatsoever what "redis" might be.
If you mean this:
https://redis.io/

it is scriptable in LUA
which would be a bit odd if it were somehow "folded into" LiveCode.
An explanation of what exactly you mean, rather than you
slightly off-handed on-liner, would be really interesting.

Lua:
https://www.lua.org/about.html
has a web-page full of dogmatic statements that make me feel a bit uneasy:
"Lua is currently the
leading scripting language in games."
This has a link to a web-page from 2009:
http://www.satori.org/2009/03/the-engin ... l-results/
Which doesn't seem to have much to do with Lua.
"Lua is
portable": although the platforms it mentions are only UNIX and Windows
and portable systems (Android, iOS, BREW, Symbian, Windows Phone).
So: No Macintosh and no Linux: not such a good start.

Can you describe what you're envisioning in more detail?
Redis has a rich collection of APIs. Perhaps a mix of their CLI and HTTP interfaces might get you started with what you need immediately.
