Redis and MySQL integration

Save yourself the work of writing custom integrations for Redis and MySQL and use n8n instead. Build adaptable and scalable Development, and Data & Storage workflows that work with your technology stack. All within a building experience you will love.

How to connect Redis and MySQL

Step 1: Create a new workflow
Step 2: Add and configure nodes
Step 3: Connect
Step 4: Customize and extend your integration
Step 5: Test and activate your workflow

Step 1: Create a new workflow and add the first step

In n8n, click the "Add workflow" button in the Workflows tab to create a new workflow. Add the starting point – a trigger on when your workflow should run: an app event, a schedule, a webhook call, another workflow, an AI chat, or a manual trigger. Sometimes, the HTTP Request node might already serve as your starting point.

Step 2: Add and configure Redis and MySQL nodes

You can find Redis and MySQL in the nodes panel. Drag them onto your workflow canvas, selecting their actions. Click each node, choose a credential, and authenticate to grant n8n access. Configure Redis and MySQL nodes one by one: input data on the left, parameters in the middle, and output data on the right.

Step 3: Connect Redis and MySQL

A connection establishes a link between Redis and MySQL (or vice versa) to route data through the workflow. Data flows from the output of one node to the input of another. You can have single or multiple connections for each node.

Step 4: Customize and extend your Redis and MySQL integration

Use n8n's core nodes such as If, Split Out, Merge, and others to transform and manipulate data. Write custom JavaScript or Python in the Code node and run it as a step in your workflow. Connect Redis and MySQL with any of n8n’s 1000+ integrations, and incorporate advanced AI logic into your workflows.

Step 5: Test and activate your Redis and MySQL workflow

Save and run the workflow to see if everything works as expected. Based on your configuration, data should flow from Redis to MySQL or vice versa. Easily debug your workflow: you can check past executions to isolate and fix the mistake. Once you've tested everything, make sure to save your workflow and activate it.

Build your own Redis and MySQL integration

Create custom Redis and MySQL workflows by choosing triggers and actions. Nodes come with global operations and settings, as well as app-specific parameters that can be configured. You can also use the HTTP Request node to query data from any app or service with a REST API.

Redis and MySQL integration details

Redis is an open-source, advanced key-value store. It is often referred to as a data structure server. Its high performance makes it a favorite fast data store, cache, and even lightweight message broker.

Data & Storage

The relational database management system MySQL is free and open-source. Although MySQL includes standalone clients that let users communicate with a MySQL database directly using SQL, it is more frequently used in conjunction with other applications to develop applications that require relational database functionality.
