How does it work ? Is it sharding different keys to different Redis instances ?

Yes! It uses exactly the same slot model in the official Redis Cluster. Each key will first calculate its slot number by a hashing function. Then try to find out the instance with this corresponding slot. So this solution is compatible with the existing Redis Cluster clients from the community.
Makes perfect sense :)

This allow scaling without impacting the consistency guarantees of redis !
