Redis Cloud uses per database high ports, copy the full endpoint not just the host

TL;DR

Always copy the full connection string from the Redis Cloud dashboard, host, port, and scheme together. Do not assume port 6379; Redis Cloud assigns a per-database high port like 11577 and your client will just time out on the wrong one. Use rediss:// (double s) when the database has TLS enabled, and prefer the dynamic endpoint form when the console offers it, since it survives underlying infra changes.

Use this when you run into the situation in the title.

When not to use this skill: unrelated tasks. It covers only the procedure above.

Compatibility

Tool: Redis. The steps above apply to the commands named in them. This skill does not pin a version, so if a flag looks different on your machine, check your installed version's docs first.

Details

Context: Web source (provider integration notes): documents the connection gotcha agents hit on Redis Cloud. Use rediss:// with the double s and the endpoint from the Configuration tab or the Connect wizard. The port is a per-database high port, not always 6379, so copy it from the panel. Prefer dynamic endpoints when both are offered.
