# 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.
