Request Upstash Redis credentials only when your application or agent needs them instead of copying secrets into application code.
Access for the right subject

Centralized credential management
Manage Upstash Redis credentials in one place and retrieve them through a consistent runtime API.
Vercel-native controls
Bind connections to the projects and environments that need them while Vercel OIDC authenticates each runtime request.
