Not clear how a rust "clone" fits into this. I wonder if people have tried pinning instances to cores and treating the ensemble as a host device bounded distributed variant. (just musing, haven't looked at Redis for ages.)
We do this as a poor man's cluster... a python script starts a redis-server process on each core and the 'master' process has a key that lets clients know about the other processes running on the machine.
It only really works well if the client can shard the redis command to the right process itself.
