Create a Redis Instance
This guide walks you through creating and connecting to a Redis instance using LandOfBytes Redis as a Service.
Before you begin, make sure you have:
- An active LandOfBytes account
- Access to the LandOfBytes dashboard
Navigate to the LandOfBytes dashboard. From the sidebar, click on Redis.
Click the Create Instance button.
- Select the plan closest to your application
Review your configuration and click Create Instance. Your Redis instance will be provisioned in seconds.
Once the instance is ready, copy the connection URL from the instance panel and use it in your application.
Add Redis via Heroku
You can also provision a LandOfBytes Redis instance directly from the Heroku dashboard.
Go to the Heroku dashboard and open the application where you want to add Redis.
Navigate to the Resources tab and search for LandOfBytes Redis.
Select a plan and click Submit Order Form.
Heroku will automatically inject the Redis connection URL into your app as an environment variable.
Use the provided environment variable in your application to connect to Redis—no additional setup required.
