Doesn’t local redis kind of miss the point of using redis in the first place? On the surface, that’s a big chunk of additional complexity for something that could be done internal to an application. Was this meant to be an incremental step in a larger refactor?



well, redis manages the replication without fuss. Unless the framework / language one uses supports it out of the box, there is no point in re implementing replication.

Oh so this would effectively serve the same purpose as a centralized cluster.


Yeah with the added advantage of reduced latency. The system I worked on had a CRUD application which was in Django , ultimately the rules was stored in a Redis.. The ad serving application was in golang that connected to this local redis instances that were replicas of the central redis..

Exactly the same for the one that I did, except that the ad serving was in Python.

But golang is probably the better choice.
