Getting Started

Get up and running with 44s in under 5 minutes. No changes to your application code required.

Prerequisites

Quick Start

1

Get Your API Key

After signing up, you'll receive an API key via email. This key authenticates all your requests.

2

Get Your Instance URL

Your dedicated instance will be at: your-instance.44s.io:6379

3

Connect!

Use any Redis client. Your API key is the password.

Connection Examples

Command Line (redis-cli)

redis-cli -h your-instance.44s.io -p 6379 -a YOUR_API_KEY

# Test the connection
PING
# Response: PONG

# Set and get a value
SET mykey "Hello 44s!"
GET mykey

Python

import redis

# Connect to 44s
r = redis.Redis(
    host='your-instance.44s.io',
    port=6379,
    password='YOUR_API_KEY',
    decode_responses=True
)

# Use exactly like Redis
r.set('user:1', '{"name": "Alice"}')
user = r.get('user:1')
print(user)

Node.js

const Redis = require('ioredis');

const redis = new Redis({
    host: 'your-instance.44s.io',
    port: 6379,
    password: 'YOUR_API_KEY'
});

// Use exactly like Redis
await redis.set('key', 'value');
const value = await redis.get('key');

Go

import "github.com/go-redis/redis/v8"

rdb := redis.NewClient(&redis.Options{
    Addr:     "your-instance.44s.io:6379",
    Password: "YOUR_API_KEY",
})

// Use exactly like Redis
rdb.Set(ctx, "key", "value", 0)
val, _ := rdb.Get(ctx, "key").Result()
Pro Tip: 44s is 100% Redis-compatible. Any Redis client library works out of the box — just change the host and add your API key as the password.

Verify Your Connection

Run these commands to verify everything is working:

# Check connection
PING
# → PONG

# Check your usage stats
44S.USAGE
# → Shows requests, bytes in/out, cache stats

# Set a test key
SET test:key "hello world"
GET test:key
# → "hello world"
