App Router

GitHub Repository

You can find the project source code on GitHub.

Project Setup

Let’s create a new Next.js application with App Router and install @upstash/redis package.

npx create-next-app@latest
cd my-app
npm install @upstash/redis

Database Setup

Create a Redis database using Upstash Console or Upstash CLI and copy the UPSTASH_REDIS_REST_URL and UPSTASH_REDIS_REST_TOKEN into your .env file.

.env

UPSTASH_REDIS_REST_URL=<YOUR_URL>
UPSTASH_REDIS_REST_TOKEN=<YOUR_TOKEN>

Function Setup

This is a Vercel Serverless Function. If you want to use Edge Runtime, you can add the export const runtime = 'edge' line to this Route Handler.

Create /app/api/hello/route.ts:

/app/api/hello/route.ts

import { Redis } from "@upstash/redis";
import { NextResponse } from "next/server";

const redis = Redis.fromEnv();

export async function GET() {
    const count = await redis.incr("counter");
    return NextResponse.json({ count });
}

export const dynamic = 'force-dynamic'

Run & Deploy

Run the app locally with npm run dev, check http://localhost:3000/api/hello

Deploy your app with vercel

You can also integrate your Vercel projects with Upstash using Vercel Integration module. Check this article.
