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.
