Redis sharder is a great solution for sharding with Eris. Managing shards for your large discord bot can be a major headache but with Redis Sharder all you need to do is code your bot. Redis Sharder is almost a drop in replacement and uses Eris's internal sharding.

What Redis Sharder provides:

  • Allocating shards
  • Managing shard connection and disconnects
  • Bot statistic collector

What Redis Sharder is not:

  • A clustering solution. Please refer to below why we don't qualify for this.

Clustering

Redis Sharder is not a clustering solution for your bot. Redis sharder aims to remove the shard management of clustering. For example you could run your bot via Google Kubernetes, PM2, or Node.js Clustering. Redis Sharder doesn't care what you use or how you spawn your bot processes.

Prerequisites

  • Install and secure Redis on your machine. Redis Sharder requires redis to be secured with a password to use any eval functions because Redis is used to transport the requests. PLEASE USE AUTHORIZATION EITHER WAY!!
