RC: Seamless endpoint migration - Dynamic endpoints/Endpoint redirection by cmilesb · Pull Request #2751 · redis/docs

cmilesb · 2026-02-05T22:35:49Z

Note

Low Risk
Documentation-only changes plus deletion of a lockfile; no production code paths or runtime behavior are affected.

Overview
Documents Redis Cloud dynamic endpoints and the new endpoint redirection workflow, including a new redirect-endpoints.md guide (compatibility checks, limitations, traffic blocking/unblocking, and revert window) and an April 2026 changelog entry announcing the features.

Updates connection and migration/upgrade docs to steer users toward dynamic endpoints and describe redirecting endpoints as the preferred cutover step (including Essentials→Pro upgrade flow), and refreshes Prometheus setup instructions across integration pages via a reusable embed for obtaining the Prometheus endpoint from the console/API.

Separately removes the Rust Cargo.lock from the rate-limiter demo content.

Embed paths need to be fixed but otherwise LGTM.

+### Dynamic endpoints
+
+As of {{RELEASE DATE}}, Redis Cloud now generates dynamic endpoints for all databases. Databases created before {{RELEASE DATE}} can still view both static endpoints and dynamic endpoints. Static endpoints will still work at this time, but they may be deprecated in the future.


Just checking that the {{ RELEASE DATE}} still isn't known yet?

current eta is March 22

Didn't get through it all yet, but here's a few small things.

andy-stark-redis

A few minor style suggestions, otherwise LGTM.

I think we need a section in the docs on "Dynamic endpoints" (maybe in the configuration page, or connectivity?). That would explain a few sentences what Dynamic endpoints are and that you can redirect endpoints, alias of the dB endpoint, bla bla bla.
And link it from here and from other places in the docs

 To illustrate, suppose you want to migrate a 1&nbsp;GB source database without replication to a target database with replication enabled.  Here, the target database memory limit should be at least 2.5&nbsp;GB to avoid data loss.

 Once the databases are synced, you can disable Active-Passive for the target database.  Before doing so, however, verify that apps and other connections have switched to the target database; otherwise, you may lose data.



Here I want to add a note regarding the API. I'll describe the process and you will do your magic to make it clear and put here where you think:)

In the UI, the process is as you described. You just search for your DB in the search

Using the API is different. Because the Dynamic endpoint can move, the user needs to give us the cluster endpoint and not dynamic one. In the UI we don't need to do adjustments because we just choose the actual DB.. not the endpoint

What we did:

We exposed a new attribute in the API on the GET DB call: replicaAsSourceEndpoints

So the customer will need to use those endpoints if they want to set the replica of the program programmatically.

We should definitely put this in the API docs. I'll work on adding this to the user docs later.

+1. Select the target Redis Cloud Pro database from the **Target database** list. You can type in the database's name to find it.
+
+    You can choose whether to map the original endpoint to the **Public** or the **Private** endpoint.


Essentials: you don't have private connectivity (PC), that true. This is an exception. If you choose a private endpoint in Pro, we verify you have a PC configured. if so, we allow. If you don't have PC and you try to redirect from essentials to private endpoint in Pro, we don't allow it.
Pro: You're right - we block you if you don't have the same connectivity method. You might have, for example, 3 VPC peerings in the source and only 1 of them in the target - that's what we allow. You have to have at least one overlapping PC method in Pro->Pro redirections

+
+For databases created after April 21, 2026, you can [redirect these endpoints]({{< relref "/operate/rc/databases/redirect-endpoints" >}}) to a different database. 
+
+Databases created before April 21, 2026 have both legacy static endpoints and dynamic endpoints. You can see the Dynamic endpoints by expanding the **Dynamic endpoints** section in the **General** section of the **Configuration** tab. 


@cmilesb it's not correct with the new approach of the Public preview. Not sure exactly how to write it.. but maybe something like that:
“Dynamic endpoints are enabled gradually, starting with new accounts and then expanding to existing accounts. For existing databases, the Dynamic endpoints section appears under General in the Configuration tab when the feature is available for your account.”

 1. [Create a new database in Redis Cloud Pro](#create-rcp) with the right specifications to be able to migrate your database.

-1. [Migrate your Essentials database](#migrate-database) to your new Redis Cloud Pro database.
+1. [Migrate the data in your Essentials database](#migrate-data) to your new Redis Cloud Pro database.


data migration is still optional.. even in Essentials to Pro migration

@cmilesb I don't see that we edited this section as well

-As of April 21, 2026, Redis Cloud now generates dynamic endpoints for all databases. Databases created before April 21, 2026 can still view both legacy static endpoints and dynamic endpoints. Static endpoints will still work at this time, but they may be deprecated in the future.
+Redis Cloud now generates dynamic endpoints for all databases. For accounts created before April 20, 2026, dynamic endpoints will be rolled out over the next few weeks. You will be able to view both legacy static endpoints and dynamic endpoints when the feature is available for your account. Static endpoints will still work at this time, but they may be deprecated in the future.


I prefer not putting any date here.
My recommendation:
Redis Cloud is gradually rolling out dynamic endpoints across accounts. Static endpoints continue to work at this time, but may be deprecated in the future. Dynamic endpoint redirection is currently available in Public Preview.

-Active-Passive sync lets you migrate data while apps and other connections are using the source database.  Once the data is migrated, you should migrate active connections to the target database.
+Active-Passive sync lets you migrate data while apps and other connections are using the source database.  Once the data is migrated, you should migrate active connections to the target database. You can turn off Active-Passive after you migrate active connections to the target database.


let's just remove "You can turn off Active-Passive after you migrate active connections to the target database."
