Simpler installs and broader deployment: VectorDb no longer requires Redis

We removed Redis and redisvl as dependencies of the base VectorDb class. VectorDb can now be used without installing or configuring Redis, reducing setup time and expanding where Agno can run (for example, serverless, constrained, or air-gapped environments). Teams adopt only the vector store they need, improving portability and lowering maintenance.

Details

  • Redis support remains optional; add it only when your use case requires it.
  • No breaking changes expected for existing Redis users.
  • Smaller install footprint and fewer transitive dependencies.

Who this is for: Platform teams standardizing on non-Redis vector stores, organizations with strict dependency policies, and developers optimizing CI/CD and container images.
