dolphin-redis is an extension enabling you to use redis as a backend to store your features.
This gem requires Dolphin 0.9.3.
Instead of your traditional
Dolphin.init('/path/to/my/features.yaml');
You can now specify to use redis as follow:
Dolphin.init_with_store(DolphinRedis::RedisFeatureStore.new())
RedisFeatureStore.new takes the following options:
store_key: specify the key you want to use inside Redis to store your features. This default to 'dolphin_features'.
In addition to that, the options hash is also transfered directly to the Redis connector (using the ‘redis’ gem). You can specify any options recognized by that gem, including:
host: Specify the host to connect to (defaults to 'localhost') port: Specify the port to connect to (defaults to '6379')
Once Dolphin has been configured to use dolphin-redis as a custom feature store, you can use Dolphin as you always did. Just enjoy the power of the Redis.
Redis is a datastructure server, which is contacted regularly using a network connection. If the server can’t be contacted for any reason (network failure, …), all your features will be turned off (instead of failing every request).
