Upstash Redis is a **highly available, infinitely scalable** Redis-compatible database:

* 99.99% uptime guarantee with auto-scaling ([Prod Pack](/redis/overall/enterprise#prod-pack-features))
* Ultra-low latency worldwide
* Multi-region replication
* Multi-Zone High Availability ([Prod Pack](/redis/overall/enterprise#prod-pack-features))
* Durable, persistent storage without sacrificing performance
* Automatic backups
* Optional SOC-2 compliance, encryption at rest and much more

## 1. Create an Upstash Redis Database

Log in to the [Upstash Console](https://console.upstash.com) (or [sign up](https://console.upstash.com) for a free account). From the **Redis** tab, click `+ Create Database` in the upper right corner. A dialog opens up:

<Frame>
  <img src="https://mintcdn.com/upstash-docs-landing-rework/2ryyMafw3RQR8NCo/img/getting_started/create-global.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=2ryyMafw3RQR8NCo&q=85&s=2b895dbd54f5c01cd7e00839837d5320" width="1518" height="977" data-path="img/getting_started/create-global.png" />
</Frame>

**Database Name:** Enter a name for your database.

**Primary Region and Read Regions:** For optimal performance, select the Primary Region closest to where most of your writes will occur. Select the read region(s) where most of your reads will occur.

Once you click `Next` and select a plan, your database is running and ready to connect:

</Frame>

***

## 2. Connect to Your Database

You can connect to Upstash Redis with any Redis client. For simplicity, we'll use `redis-cli`. See the [Connect Your Client](../howto/connect-client) section for connecting via our TypeScript or Python SDKs and other clients.

<Tip>
  You can copy the `redis-cli` command to connect to your database from the **Details** tab of your database in the Upstash Console.
</Tip>

The Redis CLI is included in the official Redis distribution. If you don't
have Redis installed, you can get it [here](https://redis.io/docs/latest/operate/oss_and_stack/install/install-redis/).

Connect to your database and execute commands on it:

```bash theme={null}
> redis-cli --tls -a PASSWORD -h ENDPOINT -p PORT
ENDPOINT:PORT> set counter 0
OK
ENDPOINT:PORT> get counter
"0"
ENDPOINT:PORT> incr counter
(int) 1
ENDPOINT:PORT> incr counter
(int) 2
```

As you run commands, you'll see updates to your database metrics in (almost) real-time. These database metrics are refreshed every 10 seconds.

</Frame>

Congratulations! You have created an ultra-fast Upstash Redis database! 🎉
