Redis Cluster

Definitions

1. A distributed deployment mode for Redis that automatically partitions data across multiple nodes using hash slots (16,384 total), providing horizontal scalability and automatic failover through master-replica pairs without requiring an external proxy.

   In plain English: A way to split your Redis data across multiple servers so no single machine has to hold everything, and if one goes down, a backup takes over.

   Example: "We moved to Redis Cluster once our dataset outgrew a single node — now 16,384 hash slots are spread across six masters."
