go-redis

Access a DCS Redis instance through go-redis on an ECS in the same VPC. For more information about how to use other Redis clients, visit the Redis official website.

Prerequisites

Procedure

  1. Log in to the ECS.

    A Windows ECS is used as an example.

  2. Install Visual Studio Community 2017 on the ECS.

  3. Start Visual Studio and create a project. The project name can be customized. In this example, the project name is set to redisdemo.

  4. Import the dependency package of go-redis and enter go get github.com/go-redis/redis on the terminal.

  5. Write the following code:

    package main
    
    import (
        "fmt"
        "github.com/go-redis/redis"
    )
    
    func main() {
        // Single-node
        rdb := redis.NewClient(&redis.Options{
            Addr:     "host:port",
            Password: "********", // no password set
            DB:       0,  // use default DB
        })
    
        val, err := rdb.Get("key").Result()
        if err != nil {
            if err == redis.Nil {
                fmt.Println("key does not exists")
                return
            }
            panic(err)
        }
        fmt.Println(val)
    
        //Cluster
        rdbCluster := redis.NewClusterClient(&redis.ClusterOptions{
            Addrs:    []string{"host:port"},
            Password: "********",
        })
        val1, err1 := rdbCluster.Get("key").Result()
        if err1 != nil {
            if err == redis.Nil {
                fmt.Println("key does not exists")
                return
            }
            panic(err)
        }
        fmt.Println(val1)
    }
    

    host:port are the IP address/domain name and port number of the DCS Redis instance. For details about how to obtain the IP address/domain name and port, see Prerequisites. Change them as required. ******** indicates the password used to log in to the DCS Redis instance. This password is defined during DCS Redis instance creation.

  6. Run the go build -o test main.go command to package the code into an executable file, for example, test.

    Caution

    To run the package in the Linux OS, set the following parameters before packaging:

    set GOARCH=amd64

    set GOOS=linux

  7. Run the ./test command to access the DCS instance.
