Redis Studio

Overview

The Redis Studio is a full-featured Redis browser and management tool that runs entirely in the browser. Create hosted databases powered by Upstash, run commands, inspect keys, monitor performance, and debug framework-specific data structures - all without installing a client or opening a terminal.

The studio uses a tabbed interface with a sidebar for navigation. Open multiple tabs simultaneously: query tabs, metrics, live monitoring, key explorer, stream inspector, and framework-specific views for BullMQ, Sidekiq, and Celery.

Creating a Redis Database

Go to Databases in your account and click Create Redis. Choose a name and a region:

The database is provisioned in seconds and appears in your database list with a Redis badge.

Studio Layout

The studio has two main areas:

• Sidebar (left) - database info, navigation items, and views
• Main area (right) - tab bar and active tab content

Query Tab

Each query tab is an independent Redis command workspace with its own history.

Running Commands

Type any Redis command in the input at the top and press Enter (or click the play button):

> SCAN 0 MATCH user:* COUNT 20
["12", ["user:1", "user:2", "user:42"]]

> HGETALL user:1
{"name": "Alice", "email": "alice@example.com"}

> SET greeting "hello world"
OK

SCAN Result Detection

When a command returns a SCAN result ([cursor, [keys...]]), the keys are displayed as a clickable list. Click any key to expand it inline and see its type, TTL, and value using the appropriate viewer (string, hash, list, set, sorted set, or stream).

Command History

• Arrow Up / Down - cycle through previous commands in the input
• History panel - collapsible panel at the bottom showing all past commands
• Click a history row to expand and see its result
• Re-run button (circular arrow icon, visible on hover) - re-executes the command immediately
• The history panel is resizable - drag the handle to adjust its height

AI Assistant

The query tab includes an AI assistant (Pro and Max plans) that generates Redis commands from natural language. Click AI Assistant below the input to expand it, then describe what you want:

• "Find all keys matching the pattern session:"*
• "Set a hash with user profile data"
• "Show me the 10 most recent entries in the orders stream"

The AI generates the command and places it in the input for review before execution.

Metrics Tab

Shows a dashboard of database statistics from the Redis INFO command:

Summary cards: Total keys, used memory, connected clients, uptime, ops/sec, hit rate.

Detailed sections: Collapsible groups for each INFO category (Server, Clients, Memory, Stats, Keyspace, etc.) with all key-value pairs.

Click Refresh to reload stats.

Live Monitor Tab

Polls the database at a configurable interval (5s, 10s, or 30s) and tracks trends:

• Current stat cards with delta indicators showing changes since the last poll
• Snapshot table showing historical values for keys, memory, ops/sec, and clients
• Up to 60 snapshots (5 minutes at 5s interval)
• Start/Stop toggle to control polling

Key Namespace Explorer

Scans the entire keyspace (up to 10,000 keys) and groups keys into a tree by splitting on : delimiters.

• Tree view - expand/collapse namespaces, see key counts per node
• Filter - search to narrow the tree client-side
• Key detail - click any leaf key to inspect its type, TTL, and value in a side panel
• Top namespaces - shows the 5 largest namespaces by key count

Useful for understanding how your keyspace is organized and finding keys by structure.

Stream Consumer Groups

Discovers all stream-type keys and provides a detailed inspector:

• Stream selector - switch between discovered streams
• Stream info - length, first/last entry ID, group count
• Consumer groups table - name, consumer count, pending count, last delivered ID
• Consumer details - expand a group to see individual consumers with pending count and idle time
• Pending Entry List (PEL) - shows unacknowledged messages with entry ID, consumer, idle time, and delivery count
• ACK button - acknowledge pending entries directly from the UI
• Recent entries - the 20 most recent stream entries with their field-value pairs

BullMQ View

Inspects BullMQ job queues stored in Redis. Auto-discovers queues by scanning for bull:*:meta keys.

Queue Dashboard

Summary cards for each job state:

Job Inspection

Click any job ID to see its full details: name, data (JSON), options, timestamps, progress, return value, and error information (failed reason + stack trace for failed jobs).

Retry Failed Jobs

Each failed job has a Retry button that moves it back to the waiting queue:

1. Removes the job from the failed sorted set
2. Clears error fields (failedReason, stacktrace, finishedOn)
3. Resets attemptsMade to 0
4. Pushes the job to the wait list

A Retry All button is also available to retry all failed jobs at once.

Sidekiq View

Inspects Sidekiq job queues. Discovers queues from the queues set key.

• Stats cards - processed, failed, scheduled, retries, dead, enqueued
• Queue browser - each queue with its length, expandable to see individual job payloads (class, args, jid)
• Scheduled / Retry / Dead tabs - sorted set entries with timestamps, error details for retry and dead jobs

Celery View

Inspects Celery task queues and results. Discovers queues from _kombu.binding.* keys and results from celery-task-meta-* keys.

• Stats cards - queues, pending tasks, task results, unacked count
• Queue browser - expandable per-queue view showing task messages (task name, ID, args, kwargs)
• Task results - status badges (SUCCESS, FAILURE, PENDING, STARTED, RETRY), result data, Python tracebacks for failed tasks

Connection Details

Click the link icon next to the database name in the sidebar to view:

• Redis URL - redis://default:{password}@{host}:6379 for direct connections (with show/hide toggle)
• REST Endpoint - the HTTPS URL for the Upstash REST API
• REST Token - authentication token for REST API access
• Host, Port, Password, Region - individual fields with copy buttons

Limits

Redis databases are available on Pro and Max plans:
