The [Redis Cloud Vercel integration](https://vercel.com/marketplace/redis-cloud) lets you create a new Redis database from your Vercel account and connect it to your Vercel project(s).

## Create database

1. Log in to your Vercel account (or create a new one).

1. Navigate to the **Storage** tab. Under **Marketplace Database Providers**, find **Redis** and select **Create**.

1. In the **Install integration** dialog under **Configuration and plan**, select your region and [high availability](https://redis.io/docs/latest/operate/rc/databases/configuration/high-availability) settings.

1. Choose a plan and select **Continue**.

1. Enter your database name or use the automatically generated name.

1. Select **Create**.

## Connect to your database

After creation, you will see your database details. After provisioning is complete, the status will change from `Initializing` to `Available` (you may need to refresh your browser).

## Link database to your project

1. Navigate to the **Storage** tab.
1. Find your new database in the list of your team's databases.

## Manage your database

From the database details page, you can make edits to your database under **Settings**.

More configuration options are coming soon, including plan changes, multi-zone high availability, and region selection.

### Configure from Redis Cloud

You can also edit some configuration options on the Redis Cloud console.

From the database detail page, select **Open in Redis**.

Your Redis Cloud account is linked to your Vercel account. All your team's Redis databases will be listed under **Databases** in Redis Cloud.


Anybody on your team that has a [Vercel access role](https://vercel.com/docs/rbac/access-roles) other than **Pro Viewer**, **Enterprise Viewer**, or **Billing**, can make changes to your database configuration on the Redis Cloud console as if they were an **Owner** on Redis Cloud. See [Team management roles](https://redis.io/docs/latest/operate/rc/security/access-control/access-management#team-management-roles) for more information.


Select your new database to make configuration changes such as passwords or the eviction policy.

 The [eviction policy](https://redis.io/docs/latest/operate/rc/databases/configuration/data-eviction-policies) defaults to `no eviction` for new databases.  You can change this by [editing the database details](https://redis.io/docs/latest/operate/rc/databases/view-edit-database).
