Migrate an existing Redis database internally or from another provider to DigitalOcean.
Customize the maintenance window for automatic software updates to your database cluster.
Choose and set eviction policies for your Redis database clusters
Organize Redis databases clusters with tags to group and filter databases or create monitoring alert policies for multiple databases at once.

Redis Management

Access and understand performance metrics for nodes in a database cluster.
Edit your database engine’s configuration and parameters via the CLI or API.

Cluster Infrastructure

Add standby nodes to new or existing Redis database clusters for high availability.
Configure alert policies based on database cluster performance metrics.

Cluster Management

Increase the size of your database cluster to accommodate your data needs.
