In-Memory DB

In JetDeploy Console you can start a fully dedicated In-Memory database instance, based on key-value store or other pattern types. Usually these kind of services are used for caching purpose in a webapp architecture. Supported platforms are:

  • Redis Redis

Create

During service creation you need to select:

  • Type

    Choose one of the supported platform type and version

  • Service name

    A unique service ident name. This name cannot be changed after creation. A random string is filled as initial default value

Click Next button to add few more specifications:

  • Storage size

    Define the initial max storage capacity of the database instance

Note

Connection and authentication data (e.g. host, port, username and password) will be visible in the detail page after database creation success.

Click Next button and the database creation process will start.

Details

In the Service Detail page you can access to various information of your database:

  • Type

    Type of your database instance (e.g. Redis)

  • Version

    Full version of your running database instance (e.g. 7.0.5 for Redis)

  • Status

    Status of your database instance. To be fully operational it must be in Ready state.

  • External Endpoint

    It is the external endpoint of your database instance, reachable by your laptop, external services or apps running out of JetDeploy infrastructure. <External-Host>:<External-Port> you find here can be used to connect by client utilities (redis-cli for Redis) for database administration tasks.

    Note

    Visible only when Expose action done

  • Internal Endpoint

    It is the internal endpoint of your database instance, reachable by other Services or Apps you create in JetDeploy. <Host>:<Port> you find here can be used as Environment variables in your App to connect to this service.

  • Username

    Admin user of the database instance.

    Note

    Redis has no username but only a Redis password

  • Password

    Random generated password of the admin user.

In the Operations section, at bottom, you can view information of the tasks created by various Actions you can run on your SQL database using JetDeploy console.

Actions

Different types of Action can be executed on your instance:

Expose Use this action when you need to connect to your instance from external, e.g. your development computer or an application or service not running in JetDeploy platform.
For security reasons we suggest you to keep external access active for a short period of time, limited to the time necessary for data migration, troubleshooting or maintenance tasks.

View Logs Use this action when you need to view logs of your instance.

Start Start of your instance, usually when your instance has been previously stopped.

Stop Stop of your instance

Restart Restart of your instance.

Destroy Request a service destroy of your instance.

Warning

Destroy action is risky and you will lose all your data. Please be absolutely sure when run this action.

Settings

Note

JetDeploy is in closed alpha status, so at the moment to increase the Storage size after service creation you need to open a Support Request

Usage examples

Redis

  • redis-cli utility

    First of all you should Expose your Service if you run the utility on your local laptop.
    Then check connection details in the Service Detail page:

    Note

    Type: Redis
    Version: 7.0.5
    Status: Ready
    External Endpoint: rapports-waysides.gw1.jetdeploy.app:48578
    Internal Endpoint: rapports-waysides-master:6379
    Password: fb71f8a12bbc4ffd89159c3267249deb

    Now you’re ready to connect:

    $ export REDISCLI_AUTH=fb71f8a12bbc4ffd89159c3267249deb
$ redis-cli -h rapports-waysides.gw1.jetdeploy.app -p 48578

    Press enter

    rapports-waysides.gw1.jetdeploy.app:48578> SET mykey "Hello\nWorld"
OK
rapports-waysides.gw1.jetdeploy.app:48578> GET mykey
"Hello\nWorld"
rapports-waysides.gw1.jetdeploy.app:48578> DEL mykey
(integer) 1

    Great! You’re now ready to use your SQL database instance!
