Redis® for Clever Cloud

A fully managed Redis® service with monitoring, backup, and migration tools — all on French infrastructure. Application cache, session management, message queue. Daily backup, built-in KV Explorer, GDPR compliant.

Clever Cloud offers Redis® as a managed service, hosted on European infrastructure.

    01 Setup takes seconds

    Installing Redis® on Clever Cloud is a no-brainer. In one click, your database is production-ready.

  2. 02

    02 Built with Daily Backups

    Your data is safe. Every night (by default), we back up your Clever Cloud Redis® databases and make every archive compressed and ready to download.

  3. 03

    03 Security

    You don’t have to config anything. We’ll make sure you get the most secure configuration of Redis®. Configure your application with environment variables, so you don’t have to share credentials in your codebase.

    04 KV Explorer

    Manage your Redis® instance with KV Explorer: a built-in tool for exploring, monitoring, and administering your key-value data in real time.

  5. 05

    05 Comes with tools

    Manage your Redis® instance with KV Explorer: a built-in tool for exploring, supervising, and managing your key-value data in real time.

  6. 06

    06 Leader/Follower Failover in option

    If you need it, a leader/follower replication is possible: you can configure the replication between two Redis® databases within the Clever Cloud Console.

Redis® for your use cases

The Redis® add-on for Clever Cloud includes KV Explorer, a console-integrated tool for exploring, monitoring, and managing key-value data in real time. Credentials are configured via environment variables, with no secrets exposed in code.

Leader/follower replication is configurable directly from the console dashboard: simply enter the leader’s details (host, port, password) to start synchronization. The panel displays synchronization status in real time. During replication, the follower database is read-only.

By default, a backup is performed every night with a seven-day retention period. Archives are in tar.gz format (.rdb and .aof files) and can be downloaded from the dashboard. The default eviction policy is noeviction — for LRU cache usage, contact support to adjust this policy.

Our pricing depends on the size and the number of databases. Compare it with your current pricing on our calculator.

Foire aux questions

Redis® sur Clever Cloud peut-il être utilisé comme cache applicatif ?

Oui. Redis® est utilisé en cache applicatif, pour la gestion de sessions HTTP, les files de messages ou le stockage de données temporaires à haute performance. Par défaut, la politique d’éviction est noeviction. Pour une utilisation en cache LRU, contacter le support Clever Cloud pour modifier cette politique.

Comment se connecter à Redis® depuis une application sur Clever Cloud ?

Les credentials de connexion sont injectés automatiquement via la variable d’environnement REDIS_URL. La connexion se fait sans configuration manuelle. KV Explorer, accessible depuis la console, permet d’explorer et superviser les données en temps réel.

Redis® sur Clever Cloud est-il conforme RGPD ?

Oui. Les instances Redis sont hébergées sur l’infrastructure européenne de Clever Cloud. Les données ne quittent pas l’Espace économique européen. Clever Cloud est certifié ISO/IEC 27001:2022.

La réplication Redis® est-elle disponible sur Clever Cloud ?

Oui. Une réplication leader/follower peut être configurée depuis le panel de l’add-on dans la console. Il faut renseigner les informations du serveur leader (host, port, mot de passe). L’état de la synchronisation est visible en temps réel. La base configurée en follower est en lecture seule pendant la réplication.

Comment sont gérées les sauvegardes Redis® ?

Par défaut, Clever Cloud effectue une sauvegarde gratuite chaque nuit avec une rétention de sept jours. Les archives (format tar.gz contenant les fichiers .rdb et .aof) sont accessibles et téléchargeables depuis le dashboard de l’add-on. La fréquence et la rétention peuvent être personnalisées pour les clients Premium.

Sōzu 2.0 — turning a reverse proxy into a programmable edge

Sōzu is the reverse proxy that sits in front of every application running on Clever Cloud. After eighteen months of work — first the HTTP/2 multiplexer, built on our existing kawa pivot, then almost every other layer of the proxy, and finally a long run in production on the cleverapps.io load balancers — Sōzu 2.0 is out.

K3s vs K8s: What Are the Differences and Which One Should You Choose in 2026?

Kubernetes has become the standard for container orchestration. But depending on your infrastructure constraints (limited resources, edge computing, IoT, or large-scale enterprise clusters), the distribution you choose can radically change the operational experience. K3s and K8s (upstream Kubernetes) address different needs, even though both share the same CNCF-certified foundation.
