Kubernetes was initially designed with a strong focus on stateless workloads, meaning these workloads do not need to store any persistent data. Interestingly, our partner RedHat reported in 2021 that around 80% of deployed workloads are databases or data caches, storing data in persistent volume claims (PVCs).

In today’s data-driven world, the ability to effectively monitor and manage data is of paramount importance. Redis®, a powerful in-memory data store, is no exception. To monitor Redis® instances effectively, collect Redis metrics focusing on cache hit ratio, memory allocated, and latency threshold.

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.
