Replication

Redis can support Master->Slave replication

Write to one master, keeps one or more slaves up to date

Master

Slave Slave Slave

Where’s the Bad and the Ugly?

Persistence

Redis is primarily an in-memory database

It is not really a “persistence” engine

All your data must fit in memory

Can configure persistence, but its not true long-term storage

Persistence is only for crash recovery
