RC: Seamless endpoint migration - Dynamic endpoints/Endpoint redirection by cmilesb · Pull Request #2751 · redis/docs

cmilesb · 2026-02-05T22:35:49Z

Note

Medium Risk
Mostly documentation changes, but it introduces new guidance for endpoint redirection/migration where inaccuracies could mislead users during production cutovers. Also removes a Rust Cargo.lock, which can impact reproducibility of that example’s builds.

Overview
Adds Redis Cloud documentation for dynamic endpoints and endpoint redirection to enable seamless traffic migration between databases without changing application endpoints.

Updates existing connection and migration guides to explain legacy static vs dynamic endpoints (post–Apr 21, 2026 behavior), recommend migrating clients to dynamic endpoints, and describe redirecting endpoints as a post-migration step; also expands the Essentials→Pro upgrade flow to include endpoint migration requirements (including port matching) and revert behavior.

Standardizes Prometheus setup instructions by introducing a reusable embed for retrieving the Prometheus endpoint and wiring it into Prometheus/New Relic/Dynatrace integration docs, plus a new “Connect to Prometheus” section in monitor-performance.

Removes the Rust rate-limiter demo Cargo.lock.

+### Dynamic endpoints
+
+As of {{RELEASE DATE}}, Redis Cloud now generates dynamic endpoints for all databases. Databases created before {{RELEASE DATE}} can still view both static endpoints and dynamic endpoints. Static endpoints will still work at this time, but they may be deprecated in the future.


Just checking that the {{ RELEASE DATE}} still isn't known yet?

current eta is March 22

I think we need a section in the docs on "Dynamic endpoints" (maybe in the configuration page, or connectivity?). That would explain a few sentences what Dynamic endpoints are and that you can redirect endpoints, alias of the dB endpoint, bla bla bla.
And link it from here and from other places in the docs

 To illustrate, suppose you want to migrate a 1&nbsp;GB source database without replication to a target database with replication enabled.  Here, the target database memory limit should be at least 2.5&nbsp;GB to avoid data loss.

 Once the databases are synced, you can disable Active-Passive for the target database.  Before doing so, however, verify that apps and other connections have switched to the target database; otherwise, you may lose data.



Here I want to add a note regarding the API. I'll describe the process and you will do your magic to make it clear and put here where you think:)

In the UI, the process is as you described. You just search for your DB in the search

Using the API is different. Because the Dynamic endpoint can move, the user needs to give us the cluster endpoint and not dynamic one. In the UI we don't need to do adjustments because we just choose the actual DB.. not the endpoint

What we did:

We exposed a new attribute in the API on the GET DB call: replicaAsSourceEndpoints

So the customer will need to use those endpoints if they want to set the replica of the program programmatically.

We should definitely put this in the API docs. I'll work on adding this to the user docs later.

Broken anchor link to renamed heading

Medium Severity

The link at line 28 points to #migrate-database, but the heading it references was renamed from ### Migrate database to ### Migrate data, which generates the auto-anchor #migrate-data. This results in a broken in-page navigation link.

Anchor #migrate-endpoints references nonexistent heading

Medium Severity

The new link at line 30 points to #migrate-endpoints, but the corresponding section heading at line 91 is ### Redirect database endpoints, which auto-generates the anchor #redirect-database-endpoints. No heading with anchor #migrate-endpoints exists anywhere on this page, so the link is broken.

TODO placeholder text left in published documentation

High Severity

The "Unblock traffic to the source database" section contains only a TODO placeholder (TODO - need a setup to work first) instead of actual documentation. This section is referenced earlier in the page (line 47 links to #unblock-traffic-to-the-source-database), so users following the endpoint redirection workflow will land on an incomplete section with no instructions.
