MIT CloudDB redis server writing permissions

Hello to everyone!
I am currently programming a messenger app with the MIT App Inventor. I want to make it secure, I already have done some work for the encryption, but I found a problem I currently cannot resolve: It would be possible for everyone to change the cloud data so you could theoretically delete accounts or conversations. Would it be possible to run code on the cloud space an uses (to deal with the permissions or sth like that) to prevent such things?
Thanks in advance

Do you want to setup your own redis server (with SSL) and to use the cloudDB component to access it?

If so, see here:

HOWTO: Setup Redis Server with SSL for use with AI2

If you want to try something different, see here:

Redis <> AI2

If something else, then explain in more detail what it is you want to achieve...

Not really.
I know that it is possible, but as far as my understanding goes I would need to set up my own server (my computer), which would have a horrible uptime. For a server with a good uptime I would need to pay, which is my last option.
Please correct me if I´m wrong
Thanks

You are most likely correct. It is probably not possible to setup either of the options I linked to without having your own server, but you can get a VPS setup for as little as $1.50 per month? I am also not aware of any redis server provider that offers SSL for free.

Okay, thanks for your help.
Do you know some good platforms for (international) hoster comparison?

It sometimes does depend on where you are in the world as to which hosting provider is best for you, so it is difficult to make any recommendations.

Ok.
Thanks anyways!
