+### Multi-database client (Active-Active)
+
+The multi-database client allows your application to connect to multiple Redis databases, which are typically replicas of each other. It is designed to work with Redis Software and Redis Cloud Active-Active setups. The client continuously monitors database health, detects failures, and automatically fails over to the next healthy database using a configurable strategy. When the original database becomes healthy again, the client can automatically switch back to it.<br>
+This is useful when:
+
+1. You have more than one Redis deployment. This might include two independent Redis servers or two or more Redis databases replicated across multiple [active-active Redis Enterprise](https://redis.io/docs/latest/operate/rs/databases/active-active/) clusters.
+2. You want your application to connect to one deployment at a time and to fail over to the next available deployment if the first deployment becomes unavailable.
+
+For the complete failover configuration options and examples, see the [Multi-database client docs](https://redis.readthedocs.io/en/latest/multi_database.html).
