Redis and Valkey

Use Redis or Valkey-compatible infrastructure for distributed state.

npm install ioredis @rokadhq/dhal

Rate-limit store​

import Redis from "ioredis";
import { createDhal } from "@rokadhq/dhal";
import { RedisRateLimitStore } from "@rokadhq/dhal/stores/redis";

const redis = new Redis(process.env.REDIS_URL);

const engine = createDhal({
  rateLimitStore: new RedisRateLimitStore(redis)
});

Signal store​

import Redis from "ioredis";
import { RedisSignalStore } from "@rokadhq/dhal/stores/redis-signal";

const redis = new Redis(process.env.REDIS_URL);
const signalStore = new RedisSignalStore(redis);

When Redis is required​

Use Redis/Valkey when:

  • you run multiple app instances;
  • serverless instances scale horizontally;
  • credential-stuffing signals must be shared across workers;
  • rate limits must be consistent across pods.
