Unified Redis Platform is a solution for consolidating multiple Redis Caches to a single cluster. The cluster can be shared by multiple apps but provides proper isolation to each application. This is the client-side core SDK for Unified Redis Platform.

With the increase of Cloud Adoption, cost optimization has become a concern for organizations moving to the Cloud. Upon conducting a cost analysis of our Azure Subscriptions, we realized that Azure Caches for Redis were among the highest sources of expenditure. In our ecosystem of Micro-services, each service was using its own isolated Redis Cache for each environment. This is the same of many services and ecosystem across the industry. Furthermore, if you need to satisfy your customer demands of BCDR (Business Continuity Disaster Recovery), you might create replica Redis Caches in alternate regions. In most cases, we analyzed that these Caches were not used up to their full potential (both in terms of load and storage). Our analysis concluded that we were using about 1GB of the P1 Redis Caches. A single P1 cache can store 6GB of data. A single P1 Redis Cache costs around $412 per month. With three micro-services and each service is utilizing two Redis Caches were spending about $2,412 per month.
Such an analysis motivated us to look for opportunities to merge the existing Redis Caches into a single cluster shared by the existing applications. Still, it needed to ensure that each application had proper isolation.
This platform allows multiple application to re-use a single or a cluster of Redis Caches. The platform provides proper isolation required by various apps to operate (get/edit/delete/update cached objects) on a single cluster without interfering (key overrides) with each other.
Install the latest version of the core URP SDK package - UnifiedRedisPlatform
Install-Package UnifiedRedisPlatform
Connect with Redis Cluster by creating a IUnifiedConnecionMultiplexer
IUnifiedConnectionMultiplexer connectionMux = UnifiedConnectionMultiplexer.Connect("Cluster ID", "App ID", "App Secret", preferredLocation: "Location")
Create a IDatabase
to interact with the Redis Cache Database. The IDatabase
interface is exposed by StackExchange.Redis
library.
IDatabase _database = _mux.GetDatabase();
All methods exposed in IDatabase
is available in URP
await _database.StringSetAsync(keyName, value);
string value = await _database.StringGetAsync(keyName);
