# Upstash Redis
Upstash Redis provides a fully managed highly available Redis compatible database.
## Create a Database
To create a database, you need to go to the [Upstash Console](https://console.upstash.com/redis?new=true\&ref=medis) and enter a name for your database. You can also choose the regions where you want to create your database.
## Connect to the Database
Once you have created a database, you can connect to it using the `Endpoint`, `Port` and `Password`. You can find them in the database details page.
## Connect to the Database using Medis
Lastly open Medis and click on the `New Server` button. Enter the `Host`, `Port` and `Password`, but leave the `Username` empty.
If you have enabled `TLS (SSL)` on your database, you need to enable it in Medis as well.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.getmedis.com/connect-to-your-database/upstash-redis.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
