Upstash Redis

@upstash/redis is an HTTP/REST based Redis client for typescript, built on top of Upstash REST API.

Tests npm (scoped) npm bundle size

It is the only connectionless (HTTP based) Redis client and designed for:

  • Serverless functions (AWS Lambda …)
  • Cloudflare Workers (see the example)
  • Fastly Compute@Edge (see the example)
  • Next.js, Jamstack …
  • Client side web/mobile applications
  • WebAssembly
  • and other environments where HTTP is preferred over TCP.

See the list of APIs supported.

Quick Start

Install

npm

npm install @upstash/redis

Deno

import { Redis } from "https://deno.land/x/upstash_redis/mod.ts";

Create database

Create a new redis database on upstash

Basic Usage:

import { Redis } from "@upstash/redis"

const redis = new Redis({
  url: <UPSTASH_REDIS_REST_URL>,
  token: <UPSTASH_REDIS_REST_TOKEN>,
})

// string
await redis.set('key', 'value');
let data = await redis.get('key');
console.log(data)

await redis.set('key2', 'value2', {ex: 1});

// sorted set
await redis.zadd('scores', { score: 1, member: 'team1' })
data = await redis.zrange('scores', 0, 100 )
console.log(data)

// list
await redis.lpush('elements', 'magnesium')
data = await redis.lrange('elements', 0, 100 )
console.log(data)

// hash
await redis.hset('people', {name: 'joe'})
data = await redis.hget('people', 'name' )
console.log(data)

// sets
await redis.sadd('animals', 'cat')
data  = await redis.spop('animals', 1)
console.log(data)

Upgrading to v1.4.0 (ReferenceError: fetch is not defined)

If you are running on nodejs v17 and earlier, fetch will not be natively supported. Platforms like Vercel, Netlify, Deno, Fastly etc. provide a polyfill for you. But if you are running on bare node, you need to either specify a polyfill yourself or change the import path to:

import { Redis } from "@upstash/redis/with-fetch";

Upgrading from v0.2.0?

Please read the migration guide. For further explanation we wrote a blog post.
