How to get free Redis in Nigeria.

Four steps. Playground is free. You get Valkey 8 with a redis:// URL.

01

Create a RumptyCloud account

Sign up on the console. RumptyCloud is built and operated in Lagos, Nigeria. You can view later prices in naira.

02

Open Databases and pick Redis

Create a managed database and choose Redis. Under the hood that is Valkey 8, the Linux Foundation Redis fork. Existing Redis clients keep working.

03

Choose the Playground plan

Playground is free: 1 vCPU, 256 MiB memory, 1 GiB disk, 10 GiB egress. Upgrade when the working set outgrows it.

04

Copy the connection string

Paste REDIS_URL (redis://) into your app. ioredis, node-redis, StackExchange.Redis, and the rest keep their usual URL.

why here

A free cache that actually lives in Lagos.

Sessions and rate limits should not round-trip to Virginia. RumptyCloud runs Valkey here, with the Redis protocol you already use.

01

Infrastructure in Lagos

The instance runs on RumptyCloud infrastructure operated in Lagos, Nigeria — not a replica of a US or EU free tier.

02

Valkey, Redis-compatible

redis:// URLs and existing client libraries work unchanged. We serve Valkey because Redis 7.4+ cannot be offered as a managed service under its current license.

03

Same free tier for Postgres and MySQL

Need a relational store next to the cache? Same Playground plan. SeePostgreSQL and MySQL.
