Redis 438
The default server configuration should suffice for development. However, you are free to modify
this array based on your environment. Simply give each Redis server a name, and specify the host
and port used by the server.
The cluster option will tell the Laravel Redis client to perform client-side sharding across your
Redis nodes, allowing you to pool nodes and create a large amount of available RAM. However,
note that client-side sharding does not handle failover; therefore, is primarily suited for cached data
that is available from another primary data store.
Additionally, you may define an options array value in your Redis connection definition, allowing
you to specify a set of Predis client options²⁰⁹.
If your Redis server requires authentication, you may supply a password by adding a password
configuration item to your Redis server configuration array.
Note: If you have the Redis PHP extension installed via PECL, you will need to rename
the alias for Redis in your config/app.php file.

supports dynamic methods, meaning you may call any Redis command²¹⁰ on the facade and the
command will be passed directly to Redis. In this example, we will call the GET command on Redis
by calling the get method on the Redis facade:
