The Redis Enterprise Proxy is an entity that mediates between applications and the database, exposing the endpoint while masking behind-the-scenes activities in the Redis Enterprise cluster. It employs a multi-threaded architecture and can scale up by using more available cores, designed to cope with high traffic by using multiplexing and pipelining. The proxy allows developers to focus on how an application is using data, rather than worrying about frequent changes in database topology. When scaling a database, the Redis Enterprise cluster can scale it up or out, allowing for linear performance increases without changing the way clients connect to the database. Automatic failover relies on data replication and self-healing mechanisms, keeping database clients connected to the same endpoint as before, with no need for changes from developers' or operations point of view. Benchmark numbers demonstrate the proxy's efficiency, maintaining sub-millisecond median latency for all target throughputs.
