I built a free Redis alternative on Cloudflare Workers (ioredis-Style Api)

I built a free Redis alternative on Cloudflare Workers (ioredis-Style Api)

I was working on a side project and needed something Redis-like, but didn’t want to deal with hosting or costs for simple use cases.

So I built a small wrapper on top of Cloudflare Workers + KV.

Important: this is NOT a replacement for real Redis. It only supports a subset of basic commands and is meant for lightweight use cases.

What it does:

  • ioredis-style API (easy to plug into existing code)
  • Runs on the edge
  • No infra to manage
  • Backed by Cloudflare KV

Install:
npm i cf-ioredis

GitHub:

Would love feedback on:

  • which commands are most needed
  • real-world use cases where this fits
  • limitations I should document better
