Bun Redis

Covers Redis integration in Bun across ioredis, Upstash, and the official client. You get practical examples for all the core data structures (hashes, lists, sets, sorted sets), plus pub/sub, transactions, and caching patterns like cache-aside and rate limiting. The Upstash section is especially clean if you're deploying to serverless environments. Includes session storage middleware and a troubleshooting table for common connection issues. It's a solid reference whether you're setting up basic key-value operations or building more complex features like leaderboards with sorted sets. The code examples are ready to copy and adapt, which saves time over digging through official docs.

  db: 0,
});

// Connection string
const redis = new Redis("redis://:password@localhost:6379/0");

// TLS connection
const redis = new Redis({
  host: "redis.example.com",
  port: 6380,
  tls: {},
});

Basic Operations

import Redis from "ioredis";

const redis = new Redis();

// Strings
await redis.set("name", "Alice");
await redis.set("count", "100");
await redis.setex("temp", 60, "expires in 60s"); // With TTL

const name = await redis.get("name"); // "Alice"
const count = await redis.incr("count"); // 101
await redis.del("name");

// Check existence
const exists = await redis.exists("name"); // 0 or 1
