Difference between red-black trees and AVL trees?

Question

Can someone please explain what the main differences between these two data structures are? I've been trying to find a source online that highlights the differences/similarities, but I haven't found anything too informative. In what cases would one be preferred over the other? What practical situations make one "better" to use than the other?

See https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/red-black-tree-set-1-introduction-2/

I apologize for using a link as an answer, but as much as I dislike posting links as a response to questions, I would simply be restating what is already here. In particular, note the "Comparison with AVL Tree" section.

I'm assuming you already know what a red-black tree and an AVL tree are.
