Redis Storage

The Redis storage implementation provides a high-performance storage solution using direct Redis connections via node-redis (the official Redis client for Node.js). It supports standalone Redis, and through custom client configuration, Redis Sentinel and Cluster deployments.

Installation

npm install @mastra/redis

Usage

Using Connection String

import { RedisStore } from '@mastra/redis'

const storage = new RedisStore({
  id: 'redis-storage',
  connectionString: 'redis://localhost:6379',
})

await storage.init()

Using Host/Port Configuration

import { RedisStore } from '@mastra/redis'

const storage = new RedisStore({
  id: 'redis-storage',
  host: 'localhost',
  port: 6379,
  password: 'your-password',
  db: 0,
})

await storage.init()

Using Pre-configured Client

For advanced configurations like Sentinel or Cluster, you can pass a pre-configured redis client:

import { RedisStore } from '@mastra/redis'
import { createClient } from 'redis'

const client = createClient({
  url: 'redis://localhost:6379',
  socket: {
    reconnectStrategy: retries => Math.min(retries * 50, 2000),
  },
})

// Connect the client before passing to RedisStore
await client.connect()

const storage = new RedisStore({
  id: 'redis-storage',
  client,
})

Parameters

id:

string

Unique identifier for the storage instance

connectionString?:

string

Redis connection URL (e.g., `redis://localhost:6379` or `redis://:password@localhost:6379`)

host?:

string

Redis host address

port?:

number

= 6379

Redis port number

password?:

string

Redis password for authentication

db?:

number

= 0

Redis database number

client?:

RedisClient

Pre-configured redis client (from the `redis` package) for advanced setups

note

You must provide either connectionString, host, or client. These options are mutually exclusive.

Additional Notes

Key Structure

The Redis storage implementation uses the following key patterns:

• Threads: mastra_threads:id:{threadId}
• Messages: mastra_messages:threadId:{threadId}:id:{messageId}
• Message index: msg-idx:{messageId} (for fast lookups)
• Thread messages sorted set: thread:{threadId}:messages
• Workflow snapshots: mastra_workflow_snapshot:namespace:{ns}:workflow_name:{name}:run_id:{id}
• Scores: mastra_scorers:id:{scoreId}
• Resources: mastra_resources:{resourceId}

Redis Sentinel

For high-availability deployments using Redis Sentinel, create a custom client:

import { RedisStore } from '@mastra/redis'
import { createClient } from 'redis'

const client = createClient({
  url: 'redis://sentinel-host:26379',
  // Configure sentinel options as needed for your setup
})

await client.connect()

const storage = new RedisStore({
  id: 'redis-sentinel-storage',
  client,
})

Redis Cluster

For Redis Cluster deployments, use the cluster client:

import { RedisStore } from '@mastra/redis'
import { createCluster } from 'redis'

const cluster = createCluster({
  rootNodes: [
    { url: 'redis://node-1:6379' },
    { url: 'redis://node-2:6379' },
    { url: 'redis://node-3:6379' },
  ],
})

await cluster.connect()

const storage = new RedisStore({
  id: 'redis-cluster-storage',
  client: cluster,
})

Accessing the Underlying Client

You can access the underlying redis client for custom operations:

const storage = new RedisStore({
  id: 'redis-storage',
  connectionString: 'redis://localhost:6379',
})

await storage.init()

const client = storage.getClient()

// Custom Redis operations
await client.set('custom-key', 'value')
const value = await client.get('custom-key')

Closing Connections

When shutting down your application, close the Redis connection:

await storage.close()

Usage Example

Adding memory to an agent

src/mastra/agents/redis-agent.ts

import { Memory } from '@mastra/memory'
import { Agent } from '@mastra/core/agent'
import { RedisStore } from '@mastra/redis'

export const redisAgent = new Agent({
  id: 'redis-agent',
  name: 'Redis Agent',
  instructions:
    'You are an AI agent with the ability to automatically recall memories from previous interactions.',
  model: 'openai/gpt-4o',
  memory: new Memory({
    storage: new RedisStore({
      id: 'redis-agent-storage',
      connectionString: process.env.REDIS_URL!,
    }),
    options: {
      lastMessages: 10,
    },
  }),
})

Using the agent

src/test-redis-agent.ts

import 'dotenv/config'

import { mastra } from './mastra'

const threadId = '123'
const resourceId = 'user-456'

const agent = mastra.getAgent('redisAgent')

const message = await agent.stream('My name is Mastra', {
  memory: {
    thread: threadId,
    resource: resourceId,
  },
})

await message.textStream.pipeTo(new WritableStream())

const stream = await agent.stream("What's my name?", {
  memory: {
    thread: threadId,
    resource: resourceId,
  },
  memoryOptions: {
    lastMessages: 5,
  },
})

for await (const chunk of stream.textStream) {
  process.stdout.write(chunk)
}

Using with Mastra instance

import { Mastra } from '@mastra/core'
import { RedisStore } from '@mastra/redis'

const storage = new RedisStore({
  id: 'mastra-storage',
  host: 'localhost',
  port: 6379,
})

const mastra = new Mastra({
  storage, // init() called automatically
})

If using storage directly without Mastra, call init() explicitly:

import { RedisStore } from '@mastra/redis'

const storage = new RedisStore({
  id: 'redis-storage',
  host: 'localhost',
  port: 6379,
})

await storage.init()

// Access domain-specific stores via getStore()
const memoryStore = await storage.getStore('memory')
const thread = await memoryStore?.getThreadById({ threadId: '...' })
