Get Started with Serverless Cloud, Next.js and Upstash Redis

Serverless Cloud, developed by the creators of the Serverless Framework, is a backend platform designed to enhance developer productivity by combining Cloud runtime, CLI, and SDK into a single platform. The post outlines the process of building and deploying a Next.js application using Serverless Redis (Upstash) as a data store on the Serverless Cloud. It guides users through setting up the environment by initiating a new app with a Next.js template, installing the Upstash Redis client, and creating a Redis database. Users are instructed to configure their application to retrieve user data from Redis and test the application locally using the Serverless Cloud interactive CLI. Finally, the post details deploying the application to the cloud and accessing metrics and logs via the Serverless Cloud dashboard.
