Akka Persistence Redis Plugin is a plugin for Akka persistence that provides several components:

• a journal store ;
• a snapshot store ;
• a journal query interface implementation.

This plugin stores data in a redis database.

The plugin is compiled with Scala 2.13, 2.12 and 2.11 and deployed on the maven sonatype repositories. To use the plugin add this to your sbt build file :

libraryDependencies += "com.safety-data" %% "akka-persistence-redis" % "0.4.2"

Note: for snapshot versions you will need to add the sonatype snapshot resolver.

The journal and snapshot components save serialized values into the database. They rely on the Akka serialization extension. Custom serialization can be added to handle you data model elements as you wish.

To use the journal component, you need to enable it in your configuration. To use the default settings, simply add this line:

akka.persistence.journal.plugin = "akka-persistence-redis.journal"

The journal component has support for tagged events. All events wrapped inside an instance of class akka.persistence.journal.Tagged are associated to the provided tags in the data store.

To use the snapshot component, you need to enable it in your configuration. To use the default settings, simply add this line:

akka.persistence.snapshot.plugin = "akka-persistence-redis.snapshot"

To use the journal query component, you need to enable it in your configuration. To use the default settings, simply add this line:

import akka.persistence.query._
import akka.persistence.query.journal.redis._

val readJournal = PersistenceQuery(system)
  .readJournalFor[ScalaReadJournal]("akka-persistence-redis.read-journal")

For more details on the available capabilities of the journal query, please refer to the API documentation.

This plugin uses rediscala to connect to redis databases and is configured using Typesafe config library.

Akka persistence redis plugin supports following modes for connecting to Redis:

• simple
• sentinel

A default database configuration is used for all components, under the path akka-persistence-redis.redis. You may either override this path to apply changes to all components, or override it locally for each component.

See the reference configuration for more details on possible configuration.
