For the practical demonstrations outlined in this chapter, it is best to have Redis Stack Server 7.2 or a later version installed on your local development environment. Utilizing Redis Cloud might not be appropriate for these exercises, the reason being that Redis Cloud, as a fully managed service, abstracts away many architectural complexities that one would encounter with a local setup. This chapter specifically addresses the manual configuration of Redis Stack to achieve HA and scalability—features that are inherently and seamlessly managed in Redis Cloud. Thus, a local installation of Redis Stack is essential in your local development environment for the purposes of this guide.
