Description
My nodejs rest api makes use of redis for cache/state management and is replicated across multiple locations.
Redis runs in master/replicas cluster mode and is also distributed across multiple locations.
In order to reduce latency I would like to read from the nearest read replica and write to master.
I assumed this would already be possible, however I haven't been able to find this feature.
