The official redis documentation for dotnet recommends the package NRedisStack in the installation guide, and the NRedisStack docs says the following:
This project builds on StackExchange.Redis
But there is also the very popular package StackExchange.Redis which is widely used yet.
I tried to find a comparison between them but didn't succeed, so when should I use each one of them and what is the advantages/disadvantages of one over the other? is StachExchange.Redis obsolete?
In NuGet, if you switch to the Dependencies tab in NRedisStack, you'll see that it has StackExchange.Redis as a dependency. The former sits on top of the latter, so the question isn't "NRedisStack versus StackExchange.Redis", but rather: "vanilla StackExchange.Redis vs StackExchange.Redis plus NRedisStack".
StackExchange.Redis is absolutely not obsolete - it is being actively used either way in both options here!
I genuinely don't know in detail what additional things NRedisStack adds, but I believe it is mostly support for some "modules" (RediSearch, perhaps). The question, then, is: are you using those modules? Most core redis functionality should already be available in StackExchange.Redis without the extra layer.
Perhaps asking for an exact list of the features added would be a reasonable issue to log with NRedisStack.
