Redis
FluxNow provisions a Redis-compatible cache and message broker when your project is detected to need one, or when you enable it manually.
What you get
Section titled “What you get”- Dragonfly — a Redis 7 compatible server with higher throughput and lower memory usage than standard Redis
- Automatic provisioning
REDIS_URLinjected into your container automatically
Connection string
Section titled “Connection string”FluxNow injects REDIS_URL at deploy time. You do not need to set this manually.
Preview environments
Section titled “Preview environments”Preview environments share the staging Redis instance. Unlike Postgres, there is no per-preview Redis isolation. Use key namespacing in your application if you need to keep preview data separate.
Common use cases
Section titled “Common use cases”- Caching — HTTP response caches, computed value caches
- Sessions — server-side session storage
- Queues — background job queues (compatible with BullMQ, Sidekiq, RQ, etc.)
- Pub/sub — real-time messaging between application instances
Enabling Redis
Section titled “Enabling Redis”If Redis was not auto-detected during import, you can enable it any time from the project dashboard under Settings → Services.
