# Redis Example (with Upstash)

This example showcases how to use Redis as a data store in a Next.js project.

The example is a roadmap voting application where users can enter and vote for feature requests. It features the following:

- Users can add and upvote items (features in the roadmap)
- Users can enter their email addresses to be notified about the released items.
- The API records the ip-addresses of the voters, so it does not allow multiple votes on the same item from the same IP address.

## Deploy Your Own

This examples uses [Upstash](https://upstash.com) (Serverless Redis Database) as its data storage. During deployment,
you will be asked to connect with Upstash. The integration will help you create a free Redis database and link it to your Vercel project automatically.
