So two options I am curious about:

- If it's a normal configuration partitioning a single large node with multiple instances using Redis cluster

- A cost equivalent cluster of machines with a similar memory size running on Redis cluster

1. I think this is how Redis the company designed their enterprise solution. You can find architecture documentation on their site. 2. Based on my knowledge it should be more or less equivalent. The reason they put it on the same machine (i am guessing here) is because shards on the same node are behind their Redis proxy, that kinda hides the complexity of connecting to each node separately. it's like a gateway to that machine and to all its redis processes.
