Redis Cache

The Redis Resource is a high-speed, in-memory database storage solution for Noop Cloud and Noop Desktop. It provides a way to connect your software Components to the in-memory database, Redis, without the need to configure individual database settings.

Key Features

• Handle your software needs for high-performance caching and key-value storage.

• Rest secure knowing your data is encrypted at rest and in transit.

• Browse, query, and debug your data with the Resource Explorer for Redis in the Noop Console.

• Manage access automatically for all Components referencing the Resource from the AppManifest file.

Usage

To add Redis to your application insert an entry in your AppManifest under resources. Specify the type as "redis" and include an alphanumeric name. The name is used to reference the Resource across the Environment.

Example

AppManifest example of a Service written in Node.js utilizing a Redis Resource

---
components:
  - name: ApiService
    type: service
    image: node:18-alpine
    build:
      steps:
       - copy: package*.json
       - run: npm ci
       - copy: index.js
       - copy: lib/
    runtime:
      command: npm start
      resources:
        - RedisCache
      variables:
        REDIS_URL:
          $resources: RedisCache.url
routes:
  - target:
      component: ApiService
resources:
  - name: RedisCache
    type: redis

General Notes

• The Redis Resource should be treated as an ephemeral cache, not a durable data storage strategy.

• Noop currently supports version 7.0. Future releases will enable configuration of later versions.

Limitations

• Subscribe, Monitor commands are not supported in the resource explorer (they are supported in the resource itself), they are planned and will roll out in upcoming releases.
