Provisioning
aka addons:create akkeris-redis:[hobby-dev|standard-0|standard-1||premium-0|premium-1] -a [app-space]
Once provisioned the redis hostname and port are added as the config var REDIS_URL in the format redis://host:port.
Upgrading
Redis plans can be upgraded or downgraded on-demand. During the upgrade the redis instance and any attached applications will be placed in maintenace mode.
Using the Redis Plugin
The redis plugin allows users to perform advanced analysis and admninistration of redis instances. Before starting ensure you have the redis plugin installed by running:
aka plugins:install redis
This is not an exhaustive list of commands, but the popular ones, see aka redis help for more details.
Listing Backups
List available backups (amount depends on your plan). This feature is not available on all plans. If more than one redis is attached to the app specify the ADDON_ID as an argument.
aka redis:backups [ADDON_ID] -a app-space
Creating a Backup
Immediately capture a backup of a redis instance. If more than one redis is attached to the app specify the ADDON_ID as an argument.
aka redis:backups:capture [ADDON_ID] -a app-space
Restoring a Backup
Note: You can get the BACKUP_ID below from the aka redis:backups command. If more than one redis is attached to the app specify the ADDON_ID as an argument.
aka redis:backups:restore [ADDON_ID] BACKUP_ID -a app-space
Getting Statistics
If a redis instance is not behaving as expected or encountering performance issues pull usage statistics and information using the stats command. If more than one redis is attached to the app specify the ADDON_ID as an argument.
aka redis [ADDON_ID] -a app-space
