Redis

Redis is an open source (BSD licensed), in-memory data structure store, used as a database, cache and message broker. It supports data structures such as strings, hashes, lists, sets, sorted sets with range queries, bitmaps, hyperloglogs, geospatial indexes with radius queries and streams.

Add a Redis database to your application

To add a dedicated Redis instance to your existing application, simply add these lines to your configuration file:

.qovery.yml
application:
...
databases:
- type: redis
  version: 6
  name: my-redis
  • name: select a name for your database
  • version: choose the version of the database
  • type: the database engine (redis in this case)

  BUILT_IN    | QOVERY_IS_PRODUCTION                                          | true
  BUILT_IN    | QOVERY_DATABASE_MY_REDIS_NAME                               | my-redis
  BUILT_IN    | QOVERY_DATABASE_MY_REDIS_TYPE                               | redis
  BUILT_IN    | QOVERY_DATABASE_MY_REDIS_VERSION                            | 6
  BUILT_IN    | QOVERY_DATABASE_MY_REDIS_CONNECTION_URI                     | <hidden>
  BUILT_IN    | QOVERY_DATABASE_MY_REDIS_CONNECTION_URI_WITHOUT_CREDENTIALS | <hidden>
  BUILT_IN    | QOVERY_DATABASE_MY_REDIS_HOST                               | <hidden>
  BUILT_IN    | QOVERY_DATABASE_MY_REDIS_FQDN                               | <hidden>
  BUILT_IN    | QOVERY_DATABASE_MY_REDIS_PORT                               | <hidden>
  BUILT_IN    | QOVERY_DATABASE_MY_REDIS_USERNAME                           | <hidden>
  BUILT_IN    | QOVERY_DATABASE_MY_REDIS_PASSWORD                           | <hidden>
  BUILT_IN    | QOVERY_DATABASE_MY_REDIS_DATABASE                           | redis

In the output, you get all data you need to use the database. Those environment variables are available in the runtime of your application.
