Warning this is an experimental buildpack and is provided as-is without any promise of support.
This experimental Heroku buildpack vendors Redis into the dyno. It is intended for use with Heroku CI or any other environment where data retention is not important.
Please note that Redis will loose all data each time a dyno restarts.
The first run of this buildpack will take a while as Redis is downloaded and
compiled. Thereafter the compiled version will be cached. Redis will start locally
and be available on redis://127.0.0.1:6379
available in the REDIS_URL
environment variable.
By default Redis 3 is used, however you can specify a REDIS_VERSION
in the env
section of your
app.json
to use a different major (e.g. "4" or "5") or exact (e.g. "5.0.5") version. This feature
is experimental and subject to change.
Make sure you publish this buildpack in the buildpack registry
heroku buildpacks:publish heroku/ci-redis master
