    You can connect from a localhost machine with port forwarding and it can be helpful to connect to your Redis instance during development.

    Create a compute engine instance by running the following command:

             gcloud compute instances create NAME --machine-type=f1-micro --zone=ZONE

    Open a new terminal on your local machine.

    To create an SSH tunnel that port forwards traffic through the Compute Engine VM, run the following command:

             gcloud compute ssh COMPUTE_VM_NAME --zone=ZONE -- -N -L 6379:REDIS_INSTANCE_IP_ADDRESS:6379

    1. To test the connection, open a new terminal window and run the following command:

         redis-cli ping

    2. The SSH tunnel remains open as long as you keep the terminal window with the SSH tunnel connection up and running.

    I suggest you use the link for setting up a development environment.

    If you are using Redis as caching-only, or simple pub/sub, I would just spin up a local redis container for development.
