Redis is not a database. It’s a key / value store.
It kind of is a database:

A key-value database, or key-value store, is a data storage paradigm designed for storing, retrieving, and managing associative arrays, a data structure more commonly known today as a dictionary.

that's still a database.

it's not a relational database.

you are confusing redis with memcached
