Overview of Redis Sharded Cluster
A Redis Sharded Cluster distributes data across multiple Redis nodes to overcome the memory limitations of a single instance and support write-heavy workloads. Key characteristics include:
- Multiple master nodes, each storing a different subset of data.
- Each master can have one or more slave nodes for high availability.
- Masters use
pingto monitor each other's health. - Clients can connect to any node; requests are automatically routed to the correct node containing the data.
