RoR + Redis Master-从站

Question

im hacking an app using RoR and Redis.

The Redis infrastructure wil have one master ( Writer ) and 3 slaves ( Readers ) and using HAProxy as load balancer to the Slaves.

What approach , you guys, are using in this scenario?

Should I have two Redis Client , one to MASTER and other to SLAVE (load balancer) ?

what is the best approach ?

Thanks

Answer 1

I would recommend using a wrapper on top of the redis connection. This way you can transparently implement the logic for implement writer/reader and use any scenario you want (this could be environment specific).

This way you can either call it direcly

RedisWrapper.hget(key, field)

or build a layer on top of it (think something like remodel ).
