# Spring Boot 4.1: The New @RedisListener Simplifies Everything

**[Dan Vega](https://daily.dev/sources/dan-vega)** · 9 min read · 8 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

Spring Boot 4.1 introduces the @RedisListener annotation, which simplifies Redis pub/sub setup significantly. Previously, developers had to manually wire up a RedisMessageListenerContainer, a listener adapter, and handle raw byte array payloads themselves. Now, similar to @KafkaListener and @RabbitListener, you can annotate a method with @RedisListener, specify the topic and content type, and Spring handles the rest automatically. A walkthrough demonstrates creating a simple order publishing and subscribing system using the new annotation, showing the dramatic reduction in boilerplate code required.
