Upstash

@upstash/agentkit-tanstack-ai implements TanStack AI's state contracts on Upstash Redis. The built-in implementations (memoryPersistence(), memoryStream(), InMemoryLockStore, inMemory()) live in one process. These keep the same state in Redis, so every serverless instance sees it. The client is @upstash/redis, which talks HTTP, so it works on edge and serverless runtimes without a connection pool.

upstashPersistence() passes runPersistenceConformance with all seven stores, and upstashMemory() passes runMemoryAdapterContract.

Installation

npm i @upstash/agentkit-tanstack-ai @tanstack/ai

pnpm add @upstash/agentkit-tanstack-ai @tanstack/ai

yarn add @upstash/agentkit-tanstack-ai @tanstack/ai

bun add @upstash/agentkit-tanstack-ai @tanstack/ai

Persistence and memory have their own entry points, so install the TanStack package for the ones you use: @tanstack/ai-persistence for /persistence and @tanstack/ai-memory for /memory.

Every factory reads UPSTASH_REDIS_REST_URL and UPSTASH_REDIS_REST_TOKEN, or takes a redis client:

UPSTASH_REDIS_REST_URL=https://your-db.upstash.io
UPSTASH_REDIS_REST_TOKEN=your-token

Persistence

upstashPersistence() returns the messages, runs, interrupts, and metadata stores, plus generationRuns and artifacts. Pass it to withPersistence as you would any adapter:

import { chat } from '@tanstack/ai'
import { openaiText } from '@tanstack/ai-openai'
import { withPersistence } from '@tanstack/ai-persistence'
import { upstashPersistence } from '@upstash/agentkit-tanstack-ai/persistence'

const persistence = upstashPersistence()

export const stream = chat({
  adapter: openaiText('gpt-5.5'),
  messages: [{ role: 'user', content: 'hi' }],
  threadId: 'support-chat',
  middleware: [withPersistence(persistence)],
})

Records are RedisJSON documents. Runs and interrupts are listed through sorted-set indexes (per thread, per run, per parent run, and by detach time for listReclaimable), and each write updates the document and its indexes in one Lua script, so two instances cannot interleave a write. createOrResume is insert-if-absent and interrupt commitBatch is all-or-nothing.

reconstructChat(persistence, request, …) works unchanged, so the GET handler from the Persistence Overview needs no other edits.

To keep generated files, pass an Upstash Blob bucket. It adds a blobs store: bytes go to the bucket, records to Redis, and ranged reads use HTTP Range requests.

import { Bucket } from '@upstash/blob'
import { upstashPersistence } from '@upstash/agentkit-tanstack-ai/persistence'

const persistence = upstashPersistence({ bucket: Bucket.fromEnv() })

Resumable streams

upstashStream(request) is a StreamDurability adapter. Every chunk is appended to a Redis Stream before it is delivered, and a client that reconnects with Last-Event-ID or ?offset= replays what it missed and keeps tailing the live run, on any instance.

import {
  chat,
  chatParamsFromRequest,
  resumeServerSentEventsResponse,
  toServerSentEventsResponse,
} from '@tanstack/ai'
import { openaiText } from '@tanstack/ai-openai'
import { upstashStream } from '@upstash/agentkit-tanstack-ai'

export async function POST(request: Request) {
  const params = await chatParamsFromRequest(request)
  const stream = chat({
    adapter: openaiText('gpt-5.5'),
    messages: params.messages,
    threadId: params.threadId,
    runId: params.runId,
  })
  return toServerSentEventsResponse(stream, {
    durability: { adapter: upstashStream(request) },
  })
}

export function GET(request: Request) {
  return resumeServerSentEventsResponse({ adapter: upstashStream(request) })
}

Outside a request handler, use upstashStream({ runId, offset }).

Locks

upstashLocks() is a distributed LockStore. Hand it to withLocks in place of InMemoryLockStore, and withSandbox (or your own middleware, through getLocks) takes the lock across instances:

import { chat } from '@tanstack/ai'
import { withLocks } from '@tanstack/ai/locks'
import { openaiText } from '@tanstack/ai-openai'
import { upstashLocks } from '@upstash/agentkit-tanstack-ai'

export const stream = chat({
  adapter: openaiText('gpt-5.5'),
  messages: [{ role: 'user', content: 'hi' }],
  middleware: [withLocks(upstashLocks())],
})

Each lock is a lease (leaseMs, default 30 seconds) that is renewed while fn runs. If renewal fails, the signal passed to fn aborts, as the lock contract requires. Release and renewal check ownership in Lua, so an expired owner cannot release a lock someone else now holds.

Memory

upstashMemory() is a MemoryAdapter backed by Upstash Redis Search. Recall is a BM25 full-text query in Redis, so it does not scan every record on each turn.

import { chat } from '@tanstack/ai'
import { memoryMiddleware } from '@tanstack/ai-memory'
import { openaiText } from '@tanstack/ai-openai'
import { upstashMemory } from '@upstash/agentkit-tanstack-ai/memory'

declare const session: { userId: string }

export const stream = chat({
  adapter: openaiText('gpt-5.5'),
  messages: [{ role: 'user', content: 'hi' }],
  threadId: 'support-chat',
  middleware: [
    memoryMiddleware({
      adapter: upstashMemory(),
      // Derive the user from your session, never from the request body.
      scope: (ctx) => ({ threadId: ctx.threadId, userId: session.userId }),
    }),
  ],
})

Memory is per user across threads by default, or per thread when the scope has no userId. Set scopeBy: 'thread' to keep it per conversation. tenantId and namespace always partition.

Also in the package

• toolCache() and rateLimit(): chat middleware that serves repeated tool calls from Redis and limits runs per user before the model is called.
• createSearchTools(): search, aggregate, and count tools over your own documents.
