Hi, I want to use the ioredis package in a rate-limiting middleware I'm constructing. But I'm encountering the runtime error:
TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'charCodeAt')

Thanks in advance.

you can't use that package on the edge middleware. However, you can create an endpoint and fetch that endpoint from your middleware. The nextjs team is working on a nodejs middleware. It will be stable soon
