db

This section defines how Express Gateway stores it data.

Two ways possible for now: In Memory and Redis.

Choosing the connection type

In Memory database:

• Data is reset on each process restart
• Data is intact during Hot Reload operation
• No need for Redis instance
• Ideal for development and demos
• Should not be used in production

db:
  redis:
    emulate: true
    namespace: EG

Redis database:

• Persistant way of storing data
• Requires Redis running
• It should be used in production scenarios

db:
  redis:
    host: localhost
    port: 6379
    namespace: EG

All options available are listed here: Redis Connection Options

Sentinel and Clusters

We’re using ioredis to connect to your Redis instance, which supports connecting to a Cluster and Sentinel.

We don’t support connecting to a Cluster yet; on the other hand, you can easily connect to a Sentinel instance just modifying the configuration file a bit:

db:
  redis:
    sentinels:
      - host: 'localhost'
        port: 26379

      - host: 'localhost'
        port: 26380

    name: mymaster
    namespace: EG
