Roulette

Super easy pre-sharding for your ruby NOSQL store. Presharding is used to naively scale your data-stores horizontally.

What is presharding

Presharding at Craigslist

Bang

Works with Redis

redis_array  = [Redis.new(...), Redis.new(...), Redis.new(...)]

roulette = Roulette.new(redis_array)
roulette.set("foo", "bar")
roulette.get("foo")
=> "bar"

Works with Memcache

memcache_array  = [Memcache.new(...), Memcache.new(...), Memcache.new(...)]

roulette = Roulette.new(memcache_array)
roulette.set("foo", "bar")
roulette.get("foo")
=> "bar"

Works with ANY store that takes a key as it's first argument

Simply call roulette like you would call any of your client libraries. Roulette will automatically split the data between different machines.

Limitations

If your operator needs all the keys to be on one machine, such as reddis' SUNION, then you're out of luck. Don't use pre-sharding (yet) because this library doesn't support that.
