Work with the @upstash/redis TypeScript/JavaScript SDK, a serverless HTTP-based Redis client for Next.js, Vercel, Cloudflare Workers, edge runtimes, and Node.js. Use when adding a cache (cache-aside, write-through, TTL and expiration strategies), session storage and user sessions, a key-value store, leaderboards and rankings with sorted sets, counters, distributed locks, queues with lists, streams and consumer groups, JSON documents, pipelines and MULTI/EXEC transactions, Lua scripting, read replicas, or full-text search, typo-tolerant search, facets, and aggregations with Upstash Redis Search (different from regular FT.SEARCH; also available for TCP clients via @upstash/search-redis and @upstash/search-ioredis). Also use when migrating from ioredis or node-redis, when a Redis connection is needed from a serverless function without connection pooling, when integrating @upstash/ratelimit, or when the user says Redis cache, KV store, session store, serverless Redis, or Upstash Redis. Supports automatic serialization/deserialization of JavaScript types.
Why this skill is useful

What this skill does
Upstash Redis SDK - Complete Skills Guide This directory contains comprehensive guides for using the @upstash/redis SDK. These skill files are designed to help developers and AI assistants understand and use the SDK effectively. Installation Quick Start Basic Initialization Environment Variables Set these in your .env file: No credentials yet? If you're an agent that needs scratch Redis and the user hasn't provided a database, you can mint a temporary one with a single POST to https://upstash.com/start-redis (3-day TTL, no signup).
