Redis Sessions

Redis, an in-memory data store, is commonly used for caching, session management, and real-time analytics.

This page outlines critical questions to help you manage Redis efficiently, track performance, and ensure smooth operations.

Key areas of focus

Below are some useful questions to ask when managing your redis account:

General resource management

• What Redis instances are running in my account?
• How much memory are my Redis instances using?
• Are there any Redis instances that have been idle for an extended period?

Performance & monitoring

• What is the current read and write throughput of my Redis instances?
• Are there any recent slow commands that could impact performance?
• How can I identify and resolve memory-related issues in Redis?

Backup & persistence

• When was the last backup taken for each Redis instance?
• Are my Redis backups configured for automatic scheduling?
• How can I restore a backup to a Redis instance if needed?

Security & access control

• Are my Redis instances set up with password protection?
• Which IPs or users have access to my Redis databases?
• How do I monitor any unauthorized access attempts to Redis?

Key management

• How many keys are currently stored in each Redis instance?
• Which keys are using the most memory?
• Can I check for keys that are set to expire soon?
