previewPlan blueprint config support for Managed Redis

complete

Ethan Sherbondy

Hi folks!
We've been managing our own redis setup via a private service to-date.
We were stoked about the launch of managed Redis, so we jumped to switchover, but unfortunately it seems like Preview Plan config is not supported for managed Redis at this time?
This seems like a strange inconsistency/omission. Any idea when Preview Plan blueprint config might be available for Render's Managed Redis offering?
In the meantime, maybe someone on the team can clarify how things will work with preview environments <> interfacing with managed redis, what instance type will be spun up currently? Same as prod? Or is managed Redis not supported at all with Preview Environments at this time?
Thanks so much,
Ethan

We've added support for overriding plans for Managed Redis instances created as part of a preview environment.

previewsEnabled: true
services:
- type: redis
  plan: standard
  previewPlan: starter 
  name: example-redis
  ipAllowList: [] # only allow internal connections

This info is available in our docs as well: https://render.com/docs/preview-environments#override-preview-instance-types

Hi folks, just checking in about this.
Any updates on timeline for previewPlan
 support for hosted redis?
Or would you be able to credit us in the interim for unexpected hours billed on production redis instance type => given we cannot configure previewPlan to use starter instance type for our dev pull request preview envs & staging configurations?

Eek, so it looks like without any explicit

previewPlan

config (since it is not supported at this time) by default all of our preview environments will use our prod instance config for Redis. This is very expensive.

Any chance you might be able to credit our account for the cost delta while awaiting rollout for previewPlan support for Redis? [We were hoping to configure previewPlan == starter for our preview environment Redis blueprint config]
