Redis

Deploy fully managed Redis databases on Antryk with automated backups, secure access control, scalable infrastructure, and production-ready performance.

What is Redis?

Redis is a high-performance in-memory data store widely used for caching, real-time analytics, session management, message brokering, and fast application workloads. It delivers extremely low latency, high throughput, and flexible data structures for modern applications.

With Antryk Redis, you can deploy fully managed Redis databases in minutes while Antryk handles infrastructure management, backups, networking, and operational maintenance.

---

Step 2: Select Redis Version

Choose the Redis version you want to deploy.

Example versions may include:

• Redis 6
• Redis 7
• Redis 7.2

Using the latest stable version is recommended for new applications unless your application requires compatibility with an older version.

---

Step 3: Configure Database Settings

Step 5: Configure Access Control

Antryk provides flexible database access management.

Option 1: Allow Specific IP Addresses

Restrict database access to trusted IP addresses only.

Example:

192.168.1.10
203.0.113.45

Option 2: Allow All IPs

Enable public access from all IP addresses.

Recommended only for development environments or temporary testing.

---

Connecting to Redis

Use the connection information from the Overview page to connect your application.

Node.js Example

const redis = require("redis");

async function connectRedis() {
  const client = redis.createClient({
    url: process.env.REDIS_URL,
  });

  await client.connect();

  console.log("Connected to Redis");
}

connectRedis();

---

Python Example

import os
import redis

client = redis.Redis(
    host=os.environ["REDIS_HOST"],
    port=6379,
    password=os.environ["REDIS_PASSWORD"],
    decode_responses=True
)

client.ping()

print("Connected to Redis")

---

PHP Example

<?php

$redis = new Redis();

$redis->connect(
    getenv("REDIS_HOST"),
    6379
);

$redis->auth(getenv("REDIS_PASSWORD"));

echo "Connected to Redis";
