Consumers store messages in a queue — usually in a buffer or on a storage medium — until they can process and delete them. In this scenario, message queues coordinate large numbers of microservices, which operate autonomously without the need to provision virtual machines or allocate hardware resources.

Redis® is an in-memory database that provides blazingly fast performance. This makes it a compelling alternative to disk-based databases when performance is a concern. Redis returns a big list of database metrics when you run the info command on the Redis shell. This blog post lists the important database metrics to monitor.
