Using Redis
# Using Redis
It's possible to use Redis database test your apps during builds.
As many applications depend on Redis as their key-value store, you will
eventually need it in order for your tests to run. Below you are guided how to
do this with the Docker and Shell executors of GitLab Runner.

First, in your
`.gitlab-ci.yml`
add
:
services:
```

## Example project
We have set up an
[
Example Redis Project
][
redis-example-repo
]
for your convenience
that runs on
[
GitLab.com
](
https://gitlab.com
)
using our publicly available
[
shared runners
](
../runners/README.md
)
.
Want to hack on it? Simply fork it, commit and push your changes. Within a few
moments the changes will be picked by a public runner and the build will begin.
