Multiple connection strings using redis-py

Question

I'm trying to configure multiple connection strings for a single ConnectionPool in redis-py. Our Redis nodes are sitting behind a reverse proxy (let's say NGINX), of which we have multiple for increased redundancy. The idea is to initialize the ConnectionPool in redis-py with a list of all the URLs in case one goes down. Is this possible?

Answer 1

multi-master connections are not possible in redis-py nor in any other Redis client, I'm aware of. You would have to implement this on your own.

A workaround could be to use DNS load balancing: https://www.nginx.com/resources/glossary/dns-load-balancing
