This is just a basic plugin to showcase how the Java library Jedis for Redis can be used to sync data between servers in real-time.
In this example we are linking chats between servers and while this example is incredibly limited with limited work you can add support for chat channels and other features.
This is my first post here on the Sponge forums and after discussing the benefits of Redis over Messaging Channels with bloodspot he asked me to make this post to showcase the capabilities of Redis and how it can be used with Sponge.
Redis can not only be used for real-time transmission but also for non-volatile storage of data. Redis is already used in a number of plugins, one of the more common plugins to feature Redis support is LuckPerms which uses Redis as a way to trigger a “Network Sync” causing all LuckPerms instances connected to Redis to sync their datastore information.
