Synchronous Patterns

Starting with version 2.1, Glide introduces a new synchronous Python client, alongside the existing default asynchronous client. Currently the sync client does not yet support the following features:

• Pub/Sub
• Cluster scan
• Configuring an In-flight request limit
• OpenTelemetry integration

Support for these features is on our roadmap and they are planned to be added in the next releases.

Using the Synchronous Client

The synchronous client is located under the glide_sync module. It’s API is similar to the asynchronous client making it interchangable in most cases with the exception of not having to use the await keyword.

Example: Standalone Connection

Synchronous

from glide_sync import (
    GlideClient,
    GlideClientConfiguration,
    NodeAddress,
    BatchOptions,
    Batch
)

addresses = [
    NodeAddress(host="primary.example.com", port=6379),
    NodeAddress(host="replica1.example.com", port=6379),
    NodeAddress(host="replica2.example.com", port=6379)
  ]
client_config = GlideClientConfiguration(addresses)

client = GlideClient.create(client_config)

# Configure batch options
options = BatchOptions(timeout=2000)  # 2-second timeout

pipeline = Batch()
pipeline.set("key1", "value1")

results = client.exec(pipeline, options=options)
print("Pipeline Results:", results)

Asynchronous

from glide import (
    GlideClient,
    GlideClientConfiguration,
    NodeAddress,
    BatchOptions,
    Batch
)

addresses = [
    NodeAddress(host="primary.example.com", port=6379),
    NodeAddress(host="replica1.example.com", port=6379),
    NodeAddress(host="replica2.example.com", port=6379)
  ]
client_config = GlideClientConfiguration(addresses)

client = await GlideClient.create(client_config)

# Configure batch options
options = BatchOptions(timeout=2000)  # 2-second timeout

pipeline = Batch()
pipeline.set("key1", "value1")

results = await client.exec(pipeline, options=options)
print("Pipeline Results:", results)
