Optional caching service response in Redis Cache

  • local develoment:

    • configuration: local.settings.json
    • runtime: docker run --name ronda-redis -p 6379:6379 -d redis
    • view log: docker logs ronda-redis --follow
    • play with redis: docker exec -it ronda-redis sh then redis-cli

  • redis as cloud service:

api.phytojs.app use Azure Cache for Redis the configuration of the Azure Functions includes:

  {
    "name": "REDIS_CACHE_HOST_NAME",
    "value": "<YOUR-REDIS-CHACHE-NAME-HERE>.windows.net",
    "slotSetting": false
  },
  {
    "name": "REDIS_CACHE_HOST_PORT",
    "value": "6380",
    "slotSetting": false
  },
  {
    "name": "REDIS_CACHE_KEY",
    "value": "<YOUR-REDIS-CHACHE-KEY>",
