Connect a client

Connect to a Database with any standard Valkey or Redis client through the shared gateway. Use these connection details:

  • Host: the pool's gateway endpoint
  • Port: 6379, TLS enabled
  • Username: your Database name
  • Password: a Momento API token

Check Valkey compatibility for the supported commands before you port a workload. Below are examples with some of the most common clients.

valkey-cli​

valkey-cli -h <endpoint> -p 6379 --tls \
  --user <database-name> --pass <api-token>

Node.js (ioredis)​

import Redis from "ioredis";

const client = new Redis({
  host: "<endpoint>",
  port: 6379,
  tls: {},
  username: "<database-name>",
  password: "<api-token>",
});

Python (redis-py)​

import redis

client = redis.Redis(
    host="<endpoint>",
    port=6379,
    ssl=True,
    username="<database-name>",
    password="<api-token>",
)

Go (go-redis)​

client := redis.NewClient(&redis.Options{
    Addr:      "<endpoint>:6379",
    TLSConfig: &tls.Config{},
    Username:  "<database-name>",
    Password:  "<api-token>",
})
