Deploy and Host Rubix Redis Bridge on Railway

Rubix Redis Bridge is a secure, self-hosted HTTP gateway for Redis-compatible databases. It provides an Upstash-style REST API for supported @upstash/redis, @upstash/ratelimit, and @upstash/realtime workflows, with bearer authentication, command policies, managed transactions, realtime SSE subscriptions, health checks, and Prometheus metrics.

About Hosting Rubix Redis Bridge

Deploying Rubix Redis Bridge provisions the bridge alongside Redis and connects both services through Railway’s private network. Redis remains protected from direct public access while the bridge provides authenticated HTTP endpoints for applications that cannot use Redis TCP connections. The deployment generates separate access and metrics tokens, applies command restrictions, limits request and response sizes, controls concurrency, and monitors Redis availability. A Railway public domain can be enabled when external or serverless applications require access. Applications running within the same Railway project can use private networking to avoid public traffic and network egress.

Common Use Cases

Use Upstash Redis SDKs with a self-hosted Redis deployment
Provide Redis access to serverless, edge and HTTP-only applications
Support caching, rate limiting, KV storage and realtime SSE events

Dependencies for Rubix Redis Bridge Hosting

An authenticated Redis-compatible database
Secure bearer tokens for API and metrics access

Deployment Dependencies

Implementation Details

Configure an application using the bridge with the standard Upstash Redis client:

import { Redis } from '@upstash/redis'

export const redis = new Redis({
  url: process.env.UPSTASH_REDIS_REST_URL!,
  token: process.env.UPSTASH_REDIS_REST_TOKEN!,
})

Set these variables on the consuming application:

UPSTASH_REDIS_REST_URL="https://your-bridge-domain"
UPSTASH_REDIS_REST_TOKEN="your-bridge-token"
