Key-Value Store​

Redis for caching or task queues​

Should you require workers or caching, you can use Redis as a key-value store. You can see the different sizes available and pricing here.

Due to licence changes and the associated uncertainty about the future development of Redis, we have decided to use a Redis-compatible alternative as a replacement in the near future.

Creating the Key-Value Store​

Firstly, we create the key value store by running the create kvs command:

nctl create kvs {application_name} --project {project_name}

This creates the Redis instance with name {application_name} within the project space. We now need to retrieve the information for this created instance, and set the environment variables using this information.

Firstly, we can get the FQDN, and check the other details, by running:

nctl get keyvaluestore {application_name}

We will also need to get the password for the access by running:

nctl get keyvaluestore {application_name} --print-token

From this we can construct and set the REDIS_URL and REDISCLI_AUTH environment variable as follows:

nctl update application {application_name} --env='REDIS_URL=rediss://:{PASSWORD}@{FQDN};REDISCLI_AUTH={PASSWORD}'

Note that we are using rediss as TLS is enabled.
