bullstudio needs to connect to your Redis instance to read BullMQ queue data.

Direct Connection

Connect directly to a publicly accessible Redis instance. This is the recommended method for cloud-hosted Redis services like AWS ElastiCache, Redis Cloud, Upstash, and Railway.

Direct Connection

Connect directly to a publicly accessible Redis instance with TLS encryption.

Requirements

RequirementDescription
Public accessibilityRedis must be reachable over the internet
TLS encryptionStrongly recommended for secure connections
AuthenticationPassword or Redis 6+ ACL credentials

Security Considerations

Never expose Redis to the public internet without authentication and TLS encryption.

Best Practices

  • Always enable TLS when connecting over the internet
  • Use strong passwords or Redis 6+ ACL authentication
  • Consider IP allowlisting if your provider supports it
  • Use Read-Only access mode if you don’t need write operations
