Setup Redis on Render

This post was originally posted on my personal site here.

In this post, we will setup a Redis instance on Render. I’ve used Redis to manage data in-memory across multiple instances. For example, if you are rate limited for outbound requests, you need a central place that has fast reads and writes to keep a count — that’s where Redis comes in. A basic in-memory database should require a heavy setup and that’s why I use Render.
