Problem
RediStack 1.6.2 does not support async/await for SCAN and other commands, which blocks full adoption of Swift 6.1 concurrency and modern async patterns in server-side Swift applications. The lack of async/await support for SCAN means fallback and cache search logic cannot be implemented in a scalable, non-blocking way. Workarounds (such as sync helpers) are not compatible with Swift concurrency rules and can introduce thread-safety and performance issues.
Why This Matters
- Many developers want to use async/await throughout their codebase for clarity, safety, and performance
- Non-blocking Redis operations are essential for scalable, modern Swift server applications
- SCAN is required for efficient cache/fallback lookups; blocking or sync workarounds are not acceptable for production
- Swift 6.1+ adoption is blocked without proper async/await support
Request
- Add async/await support for SCAN and other Redis commands
- Ensure compatibility with Swift 6.1+ concurrency rules
- Provide migration path from sync to async APIs
- Document any breaking changes
Environment
- Swift 6.1+
- RediStack 1.6.2
- Server-side Swift applications
