Getting started with Nuxt 3 and Serverless Redis

Redis is an open-source, in-memory key-value database known for its versatility in caching, session management, leaderboard ranking, queuing, usage metering, and content filtering, utilizing data structures like Lists, Sets, and Sorted Sets. The article explores integrating Redis with the Nuxt 3 framework, using Upstash for serverless Redis access, emphasizing its ease of use for beginners. It outlines setting up a Nuxt 3 project with Redis, employing the @upstash/redis and ioredis npm packages to interact with Redis databases, and leveraging Nuxt 3's Nitro server engine for API and middleware management. The process involves connecting to a Redis database, creating unique keys to track page visits, and deploying the app on platforms like Netlify and Cloudflare. Upstash provides additional features like data encryption and global caching, aligning well with modern front-end technologies, making Redis accessible and appealing to developers.
