{{% alert title="Warning" color="warning" %}} The above example uses secrets as plain strings. It is recommended to use a secret store for the secrets, as described [here]({{< ref component-secrets.md >}}). {{% /alert %}}
Spec metadata fields
Field | Required | Details | Example |
---|---|---|---|
redisHost | Y | Connection-string for the redis host | localhost:6379 , redis-master.default.svc.cluster.local:6379 |
redisPassword | Y | Password for Redis host. No Default. Can be secretKeyRef to use a secret reference |
"" , "KeFg23!" |
redisUsername | N | Username for Redis host. Defaults to empty. Make sure your redis server version is 6 or above, and have created acl rule correctly. | "" , "default" |
useEntraID | N | Implements EntraID support for Azure Cache for Redis. Before enabling this:
|
"true" , "false" |
enableTLS | N | If the Redis instance supports TLS with public certificates, can be configured to be enabled or disabled. Defaults to "false" |
"true" , "false" |
maxRetries | N | Maximum number of retries before giving up. Defaults to 3 |
5 , 10 |
maxRetryBackoff | N | Maximum backoff between each retry. Defaults to 2 seconds; "-1" disables backoff. |
3000000000 |
failover | N | Property to enabled failover configuration. Needs sentinelMasterName to be set. The redisHost should be the sentinel host address. See Redis Sentinel Documentation. Defaults to "false" |
"true" , "false" |
sentinelMasterName | N | The sentinel master name. See Redis Sentinel Documentation | "mymaster" |
redeliverInterval | N | The interval between checking for pending messages to redelivery. Defaults to "60s" . "0" disables redelivery. |
"30s" |
processingTimeout | N | The amount time a message must be pending before attempting to redeliver it. Defaults to "15s" . "0" disables redelivery. |
"30s" |
redisType | N | The type of redis. There are two valid values, one is "node" for single node mode, the other is "cluster" for redis cluster mode. Defaults to "node" . |
"cluster" |
redisDB | N | Database selected after connecting to redis. If "redisType" is "cluster" this option is ignored. Defaults to "0" . |
"0" |
redisMaxRetries | N | Alias for maxRetries . If both values are set maxRetries is ignored. |
"5" |
redisMinRetryInterval | N | Minimum backoff for redis commands between each retry. Default is "8ms" ; "-1" disables backoff. |
"8ms" |
redisMaxRetryInterval | N | Alias for maxRetryBackoff . If both values are set maxRetryBackoff is ignored. |
"5s" |
dialTimeout | N | Dial timeout for establishing new connections. Defaults to "5s" . |
"5s" |
readTimeout | N | Timeout for socket reads. If reached, redis commands will fail with a timeout instead of blocking. Defaults to "3s" , "-1" for no timeout. |
"3s" |
writeTimeout | N | Timeout for socket writes. If reached, redis commands will fail with a timeout instead of blocking. Defaults is readTimeout. | "3s" |
poolSize | N | Maximum number of socket connections. Default is 10 connections per every CPU as reported by runtime.NumCPU. | "20" |
poolTimeout | N | Amount of time client waits for a connection if all connections are busy before returning an error. Default is readTimeout + 1 second. | "5s" |
maxConnAge | N | Connection age at which the client retires (closes) the connection. Default is to not close aged connections. | "30m" |
minIdleConns | N | Minimum number of idle connections to keep open in order to avoid the performance degradation associated with creating new connections. Defaults to "0" . |
"2" |
idleCheckFrequency | N | Frequency of idle checks made by idle connections reaper. Default is "1m" . "-1" disables idle connections reaper. |
"-1" |
idleTimeout | N | Amount of time after which the client closes idle connections. Should be less than server's timeout. Default is "5m" . "-1" disables idle timeout check. |
"10m" |
Setup Redis
Dapr can use any Redis instance: containerized, running on your local dev machine, or a managed cloud service.
{{< tabs "Self-Hosted" "Kubernetes" "AWS" "Azure" "GCP" >}}
{{% codetab %}}
A Redis instance is automatically created as a Docker container when you run dapr init
{{% /codetab %}}
{{% codetab %}} You can use Helm to quickly create a Redis instance in our Kubernetes cluster. This approach requires Installing Helm.
-
Install Redis into your cluster. Note that we're explicitly setting an image tag to get a version greater than 5, which is what Dapr' pub/sub functionality requires. If you're intending on using Redis as just a state store (and not for pub/sub), you do not have to set the image version.
helm repo add bitnami https://charts.bitnami.com/bitnami helm install redis bitnami/redis --set image.tag=6.2
-
Run
kubectl get pods
to see the Redis containers now running in your cluster. -
Add
redis-master:6379
as theredisHost
in your redis.yaml file. For example:metadata: - name: redisHost value: redis-master:6379
-
Next, get the Redis password, which is slightly different depending on the OS we're using:
-
Windows: Run
kubectl get secret --namespace default redis -o jsonpath="{.data.redis-password}" > encoded.b64
, which creates a file with your encoded password. Next, runcertutil -decode encoded.b64 password.txt
, which will put your redis password in a text file calledpassword.txt
. Copy the password and delete the two files. -
Linux/MacOS: Run
kubectl get secret --namespace default redis -o jsonpath="{.data.redis-password}" | base64 --decode
and copy the outputted password.
Add this password as the
redisPassword
value in your redis.yaml file. For example:metadata: - name: redisPassword value: lhDOkwTlp0
-

{{% codetab %}} AWS Redis {{% /codetab %}}
{{% codetab %}}
-
Create an Azure Cache for Redis instance using the official Microsoft documentation.
-
Once your instance is created, grab the Host name (FQDN) and your access key from the Azure portal.
- For the Host name:
- Navigate to the resource's Overview page.
- Copy the Host name value.
- For your access key:
- Navigate to Settings > Access Keys.
- Copy and save your key.
- For the Host name:
-
Add your key and your host name to a
redis.yaml
file that Dapr can apply to your cluster.- If you're running a sample, add the host and key to the provided
redis.yaml
. - If you're creating a project from the ground up, create a
redis.yaml
file as specified in the Component format section.
- If you're running a sample, add the host and key to the provided
-
Set the
redisHost
key to[HOST NAME FROM PREVIOUS STEP]:6379
and theredisPassword
key to the key you saved earlier.Note: In a production-grade application, follow [secret management]({{< ref component-secrets.md >}}) instructions to securely manage your secrets.
-
Enable EntraID support:
- Enable Entra ID authentication on your Azure Redis server. This may takes a few minutes.
- Set
useEntraID
to"true"
to implement EntraID support for Azure Cache for Redis.
-
Set
enableTLS
to"true"
to support TLS.
Note:
useEntraID
assumes that either your UserPrincipal (via AzureCLICredential) or the SystemAssigned managed identity have the RedisDataOwner role permission. If a user-assigned identity is used, [you need to specify theazureClientID
property]({{< ref "howto-mi.md#set-up-identities-in-your-component" >}}).
