This what redis’s creator antirez suggests: “ the way I want to scale Redis is by improving the support for multiple Redis instances to be executed in the same host, especially via Redis Cluster” http://antirez.com/news/126

It’s basically back to the multi-threading vs multiprocessing debate that also exists in Python. With multiprocessing, you have more overhead but the client itself is simpler.

It’s kind of a weird in between where you need more scalability then a single redis but no so much that you want to go to a cluster.
