In-Memory Data Store High-Availability: Redis Sentinel
Redis Sentinel is a system designed for managing Redis server instances. It provides several key features:
- Monitoring: Sentinel constantly checks your Redis servers to ensure they are functioning properly.
- Notifications: Sentinel can notify you about issues with your Redis servers.
- Automatic failover: If a master Redis server is not functioning, Sentinel can automatically promote a slave server to be the new master.
- Configuration provider: Sentinel can provide other Redis clients with the information about configuration and the current master–slave setup.
You would want to use Redis Sentinel for the following reasons:
- High availability: Sentinel helps to ensure that your system remains operational even in the case of a failure. It does this by automatically switching to a replica server if the main server fails.
- Disaster recovery: Sentinel can help to minimize downtime and data loss...
