Key Takeaways Critical performance indicators such as latency, CPU usage, memory utilization, hit rate, and number of connected clients/slaves/evictions must be monitored to maintain Redis’s high throughput and low latency capabilities. Similarly, an increased throughput signifies an intensive workload on a server and a larger latency.

We thus assigned a priority to each use case and sharded event traffic by routing to priority-specific queues and the corresponding event processing clusters. This separation allows us to tune system configuration and scaling policies independently for different event priorities and traffic patterns.

Because microprocessors are so fast, computer architecture design has evolved towards adding various levels of caching between compute units and the main memory, in order to hide the latency of bringing the bits to the brains. This avoids thrashing caches too much for B and evens out the pressure on the L3 caches of the machine.
