Each example reads the connection URL from VALKEY_URL; copy it from your instance page in the dashboard. See connection details and limits for what applies to every client.

redis-rb

The redis gem turns on TLS for rediss:// URLs.

Install

bundle add redis

app.rb

require "redis" redis = Redis.new(url: ENV.fetch("VALKEY_URL")) redis.set("greeting", "hello", ex: 60)puts redis.get("greeting")

Rails cache

Use the built-in Redis cache store. It needs the redis gem.

Install

bundle add redis

config/environments/production.rb

config.cache_store = :redis_cache_store, {  url: ENV.fetch("VALKEY_URL"),  namespace: "myapp",  expires_in: 1.hour,}

Sidekiq

Point both the server (workers) and the client (your app) at the same URL.

Install

bundle add sidekiq

config/initializers/sidekiq.rb

Sidekiq.configure_server do |config|  config.redis = { url: ENV.fetch("VALKEY_URL") }end Sidekiq.configure_client do |config|  config.redis = { url: ENV.fetch("VALKEY_URL") }end

Starter evicts keys when memory is full (allkeys-lru), which can silently drop jobs. Use it for experiments; production queues need a persistent plan with noeviction (Casual or Pro, coming soon).
