It has been a long journey since then, but today we are pleased to announce the general availability of our Redis Mirroring solution on the Instaclustr Manager Platform. [Redis](https://www.instaclustr.com/blog/what-is-redis/) is the most popular in-memory data structure solution because of its speed and versatility. Many of the world’s leading organizations have caching needs that have continental or global scale. When a single cache services these geographies, it can add 50-200ms to latency sensitive workloads. Redis Mirroring makes it possible for writes to a primary cluster to flow to a secondary cluster in a second region. Additionally, just as Redis replica nodes can take over from master nodes if they fail, a secondary region can be used as a backup to take over from a primary region if it should fail in a regional cloud outage, for example. Redis Mirroring provides the ability to lower latencies and build cache architectures resilient to cloud region failures by: - Enabling you to deploy paired Redis clusters in different cloud regions with a primary/secondary relationship so that applications and customers can read data faster from the nearest cluster. - Making writes to the primary cluster go through a lightweight transparent proxy (transparency meaning that no changes to clients are required) that writes to the secondary cluster, keeping caches in sync. - Allowing pairs of clusters that are otherwise independent (including independent eviction policies) to continue working in the face of a cloud region outage. Since the public preview release we have added some features to this GA release. A few of the notable changes are: - Support added for mirroring clusters with and without password authentication - More metrics are now available for monitoring the health of the cluster - Provisioning API now supports adding data centers - SOC 2 (Service Organization Controls 2) certification achieved Alongside this release, we have also released and open sourced our proxy,[ Shotover](https://shotover.io/), which allows Redis Mirroring to function. Shotover is a high performance L7 data-layer proxy for controlling, managing, and modifying the flow of database requests in transit. More details are available in our [press release](https://www.instaclustr.com/blog/) and [blog post](https://www.instaclustr.com/blog/instaclustr-announces-the-release-of-shotover/) Please note that since Redis Mirroring is now GA it is governed by our default SLAs for Redis as detailed[ here](https://www.instaclustr.com/policies/service-level-agreements/).
