Database Migration Services for Redis

Elestio provides a streamlined and reliable approach for migrating Redis instances from various environments such as on-premises servers, self-managed cloud deployments, or other managed services into its fully managed Redis platform. This migration process is designed to ensure data consistency, minimize downtime, and simplify the operational complexity of managing Redis infrastructure.

Key Steps in Migrating to Elestio

Pre-Migration Preparation

Before initiating your Redis migration, proper preparation is essential to ensure a seamless and error-free transition:

Initiating the Migration Process

With the target environment ready, proceed with the Redis migration using the Elestio migration interface:

  1. Access the Migration Tool: Navigate to your Redis service overview on the Elestio dashboard. Select the “Migrate Database” option to initiate the guided migration workflow.
  2. Configure Migration Settings: A prompt will appear to confirm that the target Redis instance has sufficient memory and disk capacity to receive the source data. Once verified, click “Get started” to begin.
  3. Validate Source Redis Connection: Enter the connection details for your existing Redis instance, including:
    • Hostname – IP address or domain of the source Redis server

    • Port – Default Redis port is 6379, but on Elestio it is configured as 26379

    • Password – If your Redis instance is secured with authentication

    • Database Number – (Optional) If using a specific logical database within Redis

Click “Run Check” to validate the source connection. This ensures Elestio can securely access and read from your Redis instance. These details are typically available in your current Redis deployment configuration or environment variables.

4. Execute the Migration: If all checks pass successfully, start the migration by selecting “Start migration.” Elestio will begin transferring the in-memory dataset and persistent data (if applicable) into the new environment. Real-time logs and progress indicators will help you monitor the operation, making it easy to identify and resolve any issues promptly.

Post-Migration Validation and Optimization

Once the Redis migration is complete, it’s critical to validate the deployment and ensure the new instance performs optimally:
