If you encounter an error using Redis for VS Code with Visual Studio Code Remote Development, it may be due to an OS mismatch between your local and remote environments, which can lead to the wrong extension being installed remotely. As an alternative, you can run Redis for VS Code locally and connect to your remote Redis database via SSH directly within the extension.

Redis for VS Code includes an opt-in telemetry system to help us improve the developer experience. We respect your privacy — any data collected is anonymized. You can disable telemetry at any time via the extension’s settings page.
