Question

How to enable clustering on a Redis Cloud database?

Answer

Clustering can be enabled post-facto, but you must ensure your commands are cluster-safe. There are limitations to multi-key commands on sharded databases which can be found here. If you are not running any of the commands listed there, then there are two options we can go down:

• Increase the limit of the DB above 25GB, which will cause the DB to shard
• It is also possible to choose the desired number of shards
• Create a new DB with clustering enabled.
