Redis

Redis is deployed as a service in DigitalOcean with primary and standby nodes. It functions as a cache for a PostgreSQL database and does not include critical data.

Steps to Create a Redis Service in DigitalOcean:

1. Navigate to Managed Databases:

   • Go to the "Databases" section in the control panel.

   • Click on "Create Database."

2. Select Redis:

   • Choose Redis as the database engine.

   • Select the version: Redis 7 (Caching).

3. Configure Cluster Settings:

   • Choose the region (FRA1), node size, set Eviction policy as allkeys-lru`

   • Enable high availability by selecting primary and standby nodes.

   • Add trusted sources (IP addresses) that can access the Redis cluster.

4. Assign a name to Redis cluster (according to naming convention) and click "Create Database."

Redis Cluster Details:

The communication between the application and the Redis cluster is exclusively routed through the internal VPC, with access to the public endpoint restricted.
