Create a free database

Shows how to create a free database.

Redis Cloud

Free databases are perfect for learning and exploring Redis. You get 30 MB of space for you to learn Redis concepts and develop application prototypes.

Note:
You can only have one free database per account. If you already have a free database, you can delete it or upgrade it to a paid Essentials plan before creating a new one.

Before creating a Redis Cloud database, you need to create an account.

To create a database in your Redis Cloud account:

  1. Sign in to the Redis Cloud console.

  2. Select the New database button.

    The New Database button creates a new database.

    This displays the Create database screen.

  1. Select the type of subscription you need. For this guide, select Free.

    The Subscription selection panel with Free selected.

    After you select Free, the rest of the database settings will appear.

    The database name, cloud vendor, and region settings.

  2. Redis will generate a database name for you. If you want to change it, you can do so in the Database name field.

  3. Select the Database version you want to use.

    A preview of Redis 8.0 is available for databases in selected regions. Select 8.0 to use it. For more information on the changes in Redis 8.0, see What's new in Redis 8.0 and review the breaking changes.

  4. Choose your Cloud vendor and Region. You can choose between Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure for the Cloud Vendor.

    The Cloud vendor settings.

    See Supported regions for a list of supported regions by cloud vendor.

  5. Select Create database.

    Select the Create database button to create your new database.

    When you create your database, there's a brief pause while your request is processed and then the Database details page appears.

You can now connect to your database and start working with Redis. Once your app is ready to scale up, you can upgrade to a paid Essentials plan at any time.
