Description

  • Version: 2.8.0
  • Platform: Node.js 10.15.3 on Ubuntu 18.04
  • Description:

Is it possible to configure NodeRedis to handle failover with multiple portals? Compose.io gives you two connection strings:

redis://[username]:[password]@aws-us-east-1-portal.35.dblayer.com:31156
redis://[username]:[password]@aws-us-east-1-portal.36.dblayer.com:31156

It is expected that you can fail over to one or the other if one of your portals stop working. It isn't clear from the documentation if this sort of behavior is supported out of the box. If it is, how do I configure the connection string to do this?

Research direction

Start by reading the NodeRedis connection documentation and searching the repository for existing failover, portal, or multiple-endpoint support. Determine whether Compose.io's two connection strings are supported and identify the expected configuration or missing behavior. Done means the support status and configuration are documented, or a scoped implementation plan is established.
