manage multiple Redis instances

[ogoudron]

Is it possible to add the possibility to manage multiples Redis instances ? The URL scheme could be "/instance_name/commande/param". Each instance should have it's own configuration section with it's own ACL.

Why ?

• it's better to have multiples small Redis instance instead of one big for reducing memory usage while writing snapshot to disk or just because you have differents persitance needs in a big dataset.
• it's better to have only one Webdis instance when used as the primary frontend binded on port 80.
• it's possible to use multiples Redis instance for managing sort of namespaces with differents ACL (readonly keys for example).

Hi Olivier,

I think that this kind of setup would be better using a reverse proxy such as nginx rather than making Webdis more complex. You should not see much difference in terms of performance by running nginx, and you'll have the advantage of not binding webdis on port 80.
