redis

In this example, we show how a Redis filter can be used with the Envoy proxy. The Envoy proxy configuration includes a redis filter that routes egress requests to redis server.

Usage

1. docker-compose pull
2. docker-compose up --build
3. Issue redis commands using your favourite redis client such as redis-cli

Sample Output:

Use redis-cli to issue some redis commands and verify they are routed via Envoy:

> redis-cli -h localhost -p 1999 set foo foo
OK
> redis-cli -h localhost -p 1999 set bar bar
OK
> redis-cli -h localhost -p 1999 get foo
"foo"
> redis-cli -h localhost -p 1999 get bar
"bar"

Go to http://localhost:8001/stats?usedonly&filter=redis.egress_redis.command and verify the following stats

redis.egress_redis.command.get.total: 2
redis.egress_redis.command.set.total: 2
