Managed Redis

Lizard Managed Redis is a managed, in-memory data store. Run lizard add redis and a Redis 8 instance is ready in seconds, with append-only persistence on from the first key.

Sub-millisecond reads

In-memory Redis 8 keeps hot paths, caches, and rate limiters fast while traffic climbs.

Persistence on by default

Append-only persistence is enabled from the first key. Your data survives a restart with no flags to set.

Queues and pub/sub

Back job queues, rate limiters, and real-time fan-out without running a broker. Pair it with a worker service.

Wired in by reference

Point REDIS_URL at ${{redis.REDIS_URL}} once. Every consumer picks up rotated credentials on its next deploy.

Frequently asked questions

Lizard Managed Redis is a managed, in-memory Redis instance for caching, queues, rate limiting, and sessions. Lizard provisions it, runs it in its own Firecracker microVM, and keeps it patched — you get a REDIS_URL and a key browser.

Run lizard add redis in your project. Bind it to a service with lizard secrets set REDIS_URL='${{redis.REDIS_URL}}' --service api, then redeploy. The reference resolves at deploy time, so rotating the password never touches your code.

Yes. Lizard runs Redis with append-only persistence enabled, so keys survive a restart without any configuration. Eviction uses allkeys-lru once the instance reaches the memory you gave it.

Redis 8 by default. Versions 7.4 and 7 are also available if a client library pins an older release.

The common uses are caching query results, session storage, rate limiting, job queues drained by a Lizard worker service, and pub/sub between services. Anything you would reach for Redis for elsewhere works the same here.

Lizard bills Redis by the second on measured CPU, memory, and disk rather than on allocated size. A cache that is quiet at night costs less at night.
