redis cluster

Redis Cluster is a distributed implementation of Redis that allows for automatic sharding of data across multiple Redis nodes. It provides high availability and scalability by allowing multiple Redis instances to work together as a single logical cluster. Redis Cluster uses a combination of consistent hashing and master-slave replication to distribute data and maintain data availability in case of node failures.

In Redis Cluster, data is partitioned into multiple slots, and each slot is assigned to a different Redis node. Each node in the cluster acts as a master for a subset of the slots and as a replica for the remaining slots. Redis Cluster uses a quorum-based approach to ensure data consistency and availability. Each write operation is replicated to a configurable number of nodes, and the write is considered successful only if a majority of the nodes acknowledge the write.

Redis Cluster also provides automatic failover in case of node failures. When a master node fails, one of its replicas is promoted to be the new master for its slots. This process is automatic and transparent to the application, ensuring that data availability is maintained even in the face of node failures.

Overall, Redis Cluster provides a highly scalable and fault-tolerant solution for large-scale Redis deployments.
