Change your application: migrate from DigitalOcean to KiviDB

The address, the port, the user and the certificate change. Your client library stays the same.

# Before: DigitalOcean
REDIS_URL=rediss://default:do-password@my-cache-do-user-1234567-0.db.ondigitalocean.com:25061
# After: KiviDB Cloud
REDIS_URL=rediss://kividbapp:kividb-password@your-name.cloud.kividb.io:6380

DigitalOcean's certificate is from Let's Encrypt, so your client trusted it without configuration. KiviDB Cloud's is issued by a private authority: give your client the CA certificate from Configuration, and connect by hostname, not by IP address.

Node.js (ioredis)

import fs from "node:fs";
import Redis from "ioredis";

// Before: DigitalOcean
const before = new Redis(process.env.DO_URI);

// After: KiviDB Cloud
const redis = new Redis({
  host: "your-name.cloud.kividb.io",
  port: 6380,
  username: "kividbapp",
  password: process.env.KIVIDB_PASSWORD,
  tls: { ca: fs.readFileSync("kividb-ca.pem") },
});

Python (redis-py)

import os, redis

# Before: DigitalOcean
before = redis.Redis.from_url(os.environ["DO_URI"])

# After: KiviDB Cloud
r = redis.Redis(
    host="your-name.cloud.kividb.io",
    port=6380,
    username="kividbapp",
    password=os.environ["KIVIDB_PASSWORD"],
    ssl=True,
    ssl_ca_certs="kividb-ca.pem",
)

PHP (Predis), common on DigitalOcean App Platform and Droplets running Laravel:

// Before: DigitalOcean
$redis = new Predis\Client(getenv('DO_URI'));

// After: KiviDB Cloud
$redis = new Predis\Client([
    'scheme'   => 'tls',
    'host'     => 'your-name.cloud.kividb.io',
    'port'     => 6380,
    'username' => 'kividbapp',
    'password' => getenv('KIVIDB_PASSWORD'),
    'ssl'      => ['cafile' => '/etc/ssl/kividb-ca.pem', 'verify_peer' => true],
]);

In Laravel, the same settings go in config/database.php under redis, with REDIS_HOST, REDIS_PORT, REDIS_USERNAME and REDIS_PASSWORD in .env.
