Individual skill
upstash-redis
Use Redis over HTTP from serverless and edge runtimes with @upstash/redis, and add rate limiting with @upstash/ratelimit. Use when the user mentions Upstash Redis, needs Redis from a Next.js route handler or middleware, Vercel, Cloudflare Workers, Deno, or Bun without TCP connection pooling, or wants cache-aside with TTLs, a session store, counters, or a 429 rate limiter using fixed window, sliding window, or token bucket. DO NOT use for self-hosted or TCP Redis clients (ioredis, node-redis), Redis Cluster administration, or vector similarity search.

# Upstash Redis Skill
This skill covers the three things serverless apps most often need Redis for:
caching, sessions, and rate limiting. The client talks to Redis over HTTP, so
it works where a long-lived TCP connection does not (edge middleware, short
lived functions). Follow the steps in order; each ends with a checkpoint.
## Requirements and limitations
- An Upstash Redis database (hosted service; usage-based pricing with a free
tier). Credentials are a REST URL and token from the database page.
- Environment variables `UPSTASH_REDIS_REST_URL` and `UPSTASH_REDIS_REST_TOKEN`.
- Every command is an HTTP request. Batch with `pipeline()` or `MGET`/`MSET`
when you issue many commands per request; avoid `KEYS *` in production.
