Upgrade from Monitor to Managed

Started with your own Redis? When you are ready to stop managing it, BullRun can take over. One click provisions a managed Redis, migrates your queue state, and reconnects your workers.

Why upgrade?

• BullRun handles Redis provisioning, scaling, and failover
• Automatic backups and point-in-time recovery
• No more patching, monitoring memory, or managing connection pools
• Per-project isolation with dedicated Redis instances

What happens during the upgrade

1. BullRun provisions a new managed Redis instance for your project
2. Active queue state (pending jobs, delayed jobs, schedules) is migrated
3. Your workers reconnect automatically via the SDK
4. The connector process is no longer needed and can be stopped

Steps

1. Open Project Settings

In the BullRun dashboard, go to your project and click Settings.

2. Click "Switch to Managed"

You will see the current mode listed as Monitor. Click "Switch to Managed" to start the upgrade.

3. Choose a plan

Select the plan that fits your usage. All plans include managed Redis, the dashboard, alerting, and the SDK.

4. Done

BullRun provisions your Redis and migrates queue state. Your workers reconnect within seconds. You can stop and remove the connector process.
