## Common questions

### Can I replicate only selected PostgreSQL tables to Redis and map them to Redis data types?

Redis Data Integration can sync the PostgreSQL tables you choose to Redis and transform the data into any Redis data type without coding.

### Why can a Docker Compose service reach Postgres but not Redis by hostname?

This can happen when the application connects to Postgres by service name but cannot reach Redis or Artemis using container hostnames. Check the Docker Compose networking between the containers.

### How do I keep multiple keys in one Redis Cluster slot so a transaction or pipeline is accepted?

Add the same tag to each key, like {tag}foo, so the keys map to the same slot. That lets the cluster accept the pipeline instead of rejecting it.

### Who is responsible for backups and restores if the PostgreSQL side is self-hosted?

You become fully responsible for backups, downtime, and patching when self-hosting PostgreSQL. Make sure you actually verify that you can restore from your backups.
