How Enterprise Security Is Adapting to AI-Accelerated Threats
Socket CTO Ahmad Nassri discusses why supply chain attacks now target developer machines and what AI means for the future of enterprise security.
cluster-key-slot
Advanced tools
Generates CRC hashes for strings - for use by node redis clients to determine key slots.
A high performance redis cluster key slot calculator for node redis clients e.g. node_redis, ioredis and redis-clustr.
This also handles key tags such as somekey{actualTag}.
Install with NPM:
npm install cluster-key-slot --save
const calculateSlot = require('cluster-key-slot');
const calculateMultipleSlots = require('cluster-key-slot').generateMulti;
// ...
// a single slot number
const slot = calculateSlot('test:key:{butOnlyThis}redis');
// Buffer is also supported
const anotherSlot = calculateSlot(Buffer.from([0x7b, 0x7d, 0x2a]));
// multiple keys - multi returns a single key slot number, returns -1 if any
// of the keys does not match the base slot number (base is defaulted to first keys slot)
// This is useful to quickly determine a singe slot for multi keys operations.
const slotForRedisMulti = calculateMultipleSlots([
'test:key:{butOnlyThis}redis',
'something:key45:{butOnlyThis}hello',
'example:key46:{butOnlyThis}foobar',
]);
OLD in these benchmarks refers to the ioredis crc calc and many of the other calculators that use Buffer.

ioredis is a robust, performance-focused, and full-featured Redis client for Node.js. It supports Redis Cluster out of the box, including automatic partitioning of commands across the cluster. While cluster-key-slot focuses solely on calculating hash slots, ioredis provides a comprehensive solution for interacting with Redis, including cluster support, which inherently deals with hash slots as part of its functionality.
redis-clustr is a Redis client for Node.js with support for clustering. It provides transparent command routing to the correct Redis node in a cluster, based on the key's hash slot. Unlike cluster-key-slot, which is a utility for calculating hash slots, redis-clustr is a full client that manages connections and commands within a Redis Cluster, including the calculation and handling of hash slots.
