Managed Storage

Defang helps you provision the infrastructure you need to run your services. That infrastructure is designed to scale in and out without persistent storage, so you can build highly scalable services. But Defang can also help you provision managed services to store and persist your data, like caches, databases* , and object storage*.

Managed Redis​

Redis is an in-memory data structure store widely used for caching, real-time analytics, and session management due to its high performance, low latency, and support for various data types. Defang can help you provision a managed Redis instance. To read more about the specifics of how this works for each provider, see the following:

How to use Managed Redis​

To use managed Redis, in your compose.yaml file, use the x-defang-redis extension to define your Redis service. Adding the annotation will tell Defang to provision a managed instance, rather than running Redis as a service. Here's an example:

  redisx:
    image: redis:6.2
    x-defang-redis: true
    restart: unless-stopped
    ports:
      - mode: host
        target: 6379
