+const { RedisPersistence } = require('y-redis')
+
+// redis configuration information
+const redisConfig = {
+  host: process.env.REDIS_HOST,
+  port: process.env.REDIS_PORT,
+  password: process.env.REDIS_PASSWORD,
+  db: process.env.REDIS_DB,
+  keyPrefix: process.env.REDIS_KEY_PREFIIX,
+}
+
+const rp = new RedisPersistence({ redisOpts: redisConfig })
+const persistence = {
+  provider: rp,
+  bindState: async (docName, ydoc) => {
+    rp.closeDoc(docName)
+    return rp.bindState(docName, ydoc)
+  },
+  writeState: async (docName, ydoc) => {},
