django-cluster-redis

• Supports AWS ElasticCache and any other similar style redis.
• The breaking difference in functionality is that ElasticCache often returns "MOVED 9134 {ip}:6379" with an ip address that you need to follow.
• This code follows those "MOVED" responses and reuses existing connections when available.

Compatibility

• python 2.7, and >=3.4
• django >= 1.8.x

Installation

pip

pip install django-cluster-redis

Configuration

django settings

CACHES = {
    'default': {
        'BACKEND': 'django_redis.cache.RedisCache',

            'YOUR REDIS CLUSTER NODES HERE',
         ],
        'OPTIONS': {
            'REDIS_CLIENT_CLASS': 'django_cluster_redis.cache.ClusterRedis',
        }
    }
}
