You can run self-managed Redis Enterprise Software in an on-premises data center or on your preferred cloud platform.

If you prefer a fully managed Redis database-as-a-service, available on major public cloud services, consider setting up a [Redis Cloud]({{<relref "/operate/rc">}}) subscription. You can try Redis Cloud for free.

  • [Create databases]({{< relref "/operate/rs/7.8/databases/create" >}}) to use with your applications.
