Host Redis on HubFly (Without Losing Data or Sleep)
Redis is everywhere.
It’s used for caching, queues, sessions, rate limiting, real-time features and when it goes down or loses data, you feel it immediately.
Running Redis shouldn’t be complicated, and it definitely shouldn’t be risky.
HubFly lets you deploy a real Redis server in one click, with persistent storage, private networking, and full control — without turning Redis into a fragile sidecar.
This is Redis hosting for people who want it to just work, but still want to know how it works.
Why Redis Is Easy to Start and Easy to Break
Getting Redis running is trivial.
Keeping it reliable is not.
Most Redis issues come from:
- Ephemeral containers wiping data
- Accidental public exposure
- No persistence configured
- Restarts without proper recovery
- Sharing Redis between unrelated services
A docker run redis command is not a deployment strategy.
HubFly exists to make Redis boring — in the best possible way.
What You Get With Redis on HubFly
When you deploy Redis on HubFly, you are running upstream Redis, unchanged.
No wrappers. No “Redis-like” services. No feature removal.
Out of the box, HubFly gives you:
- One-click Redis deployment
- Persistent Redis storage (AOF / RDB)
- Isolated private networking
- Automatic restarts and recovery
- Configurable exposure (private or public)
- Full compatibility with Redis clients
Your app talks to Redis exactly the way it always has.
Persistent Redis Storage (Done Properly)
Redis is in-memory — but persistence is still critical.
HubFly attaches a persistent volume directly to your Redis container. This allows Redis to:
- Write AOF files
- Save RDB snapshots
- Recover cleanly after restarts
- Survive redeployments and crashes
Your data lives outside the container lifecycle.
That’s the difference between a cache you hope survives and one you can rely on.
Private by Default (As Redis Should Be)
Redis is not meant to be exposed to the internet.
On HubFly:
- Redis runs inside an isolated project network
- Only containers in the same project can reach it
- No public access unless you explicitly enable it
This eliminates:
- Accidental exposure
- Unauthorized access
- Port scanning issues
If you do need public access (for a reason), you control it.
Who Redis on HubFly Is For
Redis on HubFly is a great fit if you:
- Need Redis for caching or sessions
- Run background jobs or queues
- Want a self-hosted Redis alternative
- Don’t want managed Redis pricing
- Want predictable behavior and control
- Are tired of Redis losing data on restarts
It works equally well for:
- Side projects
- Startups
- Internal tools
- Production workloads
How Redis Deployment Works on HubFly
At a high level:
- You select Redis from HubFly templates
- A container is created
- Attach a persistent volume
- Enable persistence
- Networking is isolated automatically
- Your app connects using standard Redis URLs
No hand-rolled configs. No guessing.
Performance Characteristics
HubFly does not add a layer between your app and Redis.
That means:
- No proxy overhead
- No protocol translation
- No latency surprises
Redis runs as Redis.
Performance depends on:
- Allocated resources
- Persistence settings
- Workload patterns
Exactly how Redis is supposed to behave.
How This Compares to Managed Redis
Managed Redis is convenient — until it isn’t.
Common tradeoffs:
- High cost for small instances
- Limited configuration
- Hidden limits
- Vendor lock-in
When You Should Not Use This
Redis on HubFly may not be the best choice if:
- You need automatic multi-region replication
- You want fully managed failover without involvement
- You never want to think about Redis at all
This is for people who want control without chaos.
Summary
Redis is simple — until it isn’t.
HubFly makes running Redis:
- Predictable
- Persistent
- Private by default
- Easy to deploy
- Fully under your control
If you’re looking for a Redis hosting solution that doesn’t hide Redis from you — and doesn’t punish you for using it — Redis on HubFly fits naturally.
