Database Setup

Create a Redis database using Upstash Console or Upstash CLI.

Project Setup

We will use C3 (create-cloudflare-cli) command-line tool to create our application. You can open a new terminal window and run C3 using the prompt below.
npm create cloudflare@latest -- upstash-redis-worker
This will create a new Cloudflare Workers project:
➜  npm create cloudflare@latest -- upstash-redis-worker

> npx
> create-cloudflare upstash-redis-worker

The Code

Here is a Worker template to configure and test Upstash Redis connection.
import { Redis } from "@upstash/redis/cloudflare";

export interface Env {
  UPSTASH_REDIS_REST_URL: string;
  UPSTASH_REDIS_REST_TOKEN: string;
}

export default {
  async fetch(
    request: Request,
    env: Env,
    ctx: ExecutionContext
  ): Promise<Response> {
    const redis = Redis.fromEnv(env);
    const count = await redis.incr("counter");
    return new Response(JSON.stringify({ count }));
  },
};

Configure Credentials

Navigate to Upstash Console and copy/paste your UPSTASH_REDIS_REST_URL and UPSTASH_REDIS_REST_TOKEN to your wrangler.toml as below.
[vars]
UPSTASH_REDIS_REST_URL="REPLACE_HERE"
UPSTASH_REDIS_REST_TOKEN="REPLACE_HERE"

Test and Deploy
