# Step 2: Upstash

> Configure Upstash Redis and QStash for queue management

Next, you'll need to set up [Upstash](https://upstash.com) Redis for caching and queue management.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Create Upstash Redis database">
    In your [Upstash account](https://console.upstash.com/), create a new Redis database.

    </Frame>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set up Upstash environment variables">
    Once your database is created, copy the `UPSTASH_REDIS_REST_URL` and `UPSTASH_REDIS_REST_TOKEN` from the **REST API** section into your `.env` file as `REDIS_URL` and `REDIS_TOKEN` respectively.

    </Frame>

    Navigate to the [QStash tab](https://console.upstash.com/qstash) and copy the `QSTASH_TOKEN`, `QSTASH_CURRENT_SIGNING_KEY`, and `QSTASH_NEXT_SIGNING_KEY` from the **Request Builder** section into your `.env` file.
