# Managed Redis

DuploCloud supports Redis database instances. Redis stands for Remote Dictionary Server and is a fast, open-source, in-memory, key-value data store. Redis can function as a database, cache, message broker, and queue.

Redis delivers sub-millisecond response times, enabling millions of requests per second for real-time applications.

## Adding a Redis database instance

1. In the DuploCloud Portal, navigate to **Cloud Services** -> **Redis**.
2. Click **Add**. The **Add Redis Instance** page displays.
