Could you clarify, please Redis usage?

v1 1) In v1 they had waf and redis on the same server 2) Client went to the admin panel to set new rules 3) Rules went to redis that is on the same server with admin panel 4) Thanks to redis internal synchronization mechanism rules were updated to all of the redises(that are stand locally with waf all over the globe) 5) When new request come to some waf, waf verified request/ip with updated redis rules Do I understand v1 correctly? Redis infrastructure was used to spread new rules by itself?

v2: 1) They deleted the redis cluster 2) Every waf server now has sqlite db 3) They made some synchronization mechanism to spread new rules from admin panel to every server that contains waf and sqlite 4) When a new request comes to some waf, waf verifies request/ip with updated sqlite rules. And that is very fast!

That is the case?
