Redis Cluster on MassiveGRID PaaS
The Redis Cluster package deploys a native Redis Cluster on MassiveGRID PaaS: data is sharded across several primary nodes, each with a replica, so the store scales horizontally and survives node failures. It is the cache, session store and message broker behind many of the marketplace's web clusters.
Both buttons open the MassiveGRID PaaS dashboard with Redis Cluster pre-selected. The trial needs no credit card.

What is Redis Cluster?
Redis is the in-memory data store used for caching, sessions, queues, leaderboards, rate limiting and real-time analytics. Redis Cluster mode splits the key space into 16,384 hash slots spread across primaries, with replicas ready to take over, so a single Redis instance's memory and throughput limits no longer apply and a failed node does not lose the cache.
The package deploys the nodes, assigns slots, configures replicas and verifies the cluster, which by hand involves several careful steps. It can be installed standalone or attached to an existing environment as the cache layer for WordPress, Magento, Laravel, Django or any application with a cluster-aware Redis client.
What the Redis Cluster Package Deploys
Marketplace packages are not bare container images. One click provisions a complete, production-shaped environment on MassiveGRID infrastructure.
- Sharded primary nodes: Multiple Redis containers each owning a share of the hash slots, so memory and throughput scale horizontally.
- Replica per primary: Each shard has a replica that is promoted automatically if its primary fails.
- Cluster configuration: Slot assignment, node discovery and failover settings applied and verified by the installer.
- Optional encryption: Add the Redis SSL/TLS add-on to enforce encrypted client connections.
Why Teams Choose Redis Cluster
Horizontal sharding
Grow beyond one server's RAM by adding shards; the cluster rebalances slots.
Automatic failover
Replicas take over failed primaries in seconds with no operator involvement.
Sub-millisecond latency
In-memory operations with persistence options (RDB, AOF) for durability where needed.
Fits every stack
Cluster-aware clients exist for PHP, Python, Node.js, Java, Go, Ruby and .NET.

Who Runs Redis Cluster on PaaS
Application caching and sessions
Shared cache and session storage for load-balanced WordPress, Magento, Laravel and Django clusters.
Queues and real-time features
Job queues, pub/sub messaging, leaderboards and live counters for web and mobile apps.
Rate limiting and API gateways
Fast counters and token buckets shared across many application servers.
Why Run Redis Cluster on MassiveGRID PaaS
Built for uptime. Redis Cluster runs on MassiveGRID's high-availability platform, where every environment is covered by a 100% uptime SLA. Nodes live on redundant hosts, storage is replicated, and failed containers are restarted or migrated automatically.
Pay for what you use. Billing is hourly and per cloudlet (128 MiB RAM plus 400 MHz CPU). Vertical auto-scaling adds and removes cloudlets as load changes, so a quiet Redis Cluster environment costs a few dollars a month and a busy one grows without a migration. Full details are on the PaaS page.
Your choice of jurisdiction. Deploy in New York, London, Frankfurt or Singapore and keep data inside the region your users or regulators require. MassiveGRID is ISO 9001 certified and GDPR compliant, and has run hosting infrastructure since 2003.
No lock-in. The package is a standard Jelastic Packaging Standard (JPS) manifest. You keep root-level access to the containers, can export the manifest, and can move the workload to any other Jelastic-compatible platform or to your own servers at any time.
