Create your free Redis Cloud account. Follow this link to create Redis Cloud subscription and database as shown below:
Save the database endpoint URL and password for future reference.
If you are using Heroku for the first time, create your new Heroku account through this link
For this demonstration, we will be using a Sample Rate Limiting application
Run the below CLI to have a functioning Git repository that contains a simple application as well as a package.json file.
Go to Heroku dashboard, click "Settings" and set REDIS_ENDPOINT_URI and REDIS_PASSWORD under the Config Vars. Refer to Step 1 for reference.
Heroku generates a random name (in this case fast-reef-76278) for your app, or you can pass a parameter to specify your own app name. Now deploy your code:
Open https://fast-reef-76278.herokuapp.com/ to see your application
brew install heroku heroku login
