What are Redis memory optimization techniques?
Detailed Explanation
Redis memory optimization strategies:
• Data Structure Optimization:**
# Use hashes for small objects
# Instead of:
SET user:1000:name "John"
SET user:1000:email "john@example.com"
SET user:1000:age "30"
# Use:
HMSET user:1000 name "John" email "john@example.com" age "30"
• Key Naming Strategies:**
# Short, consistent key names
# Bad: "user:profile:personal:information:1000"
# Good: "u:p:1000"
# Use hash tags for clustering
SET {user:1000}:profile "data"
SET {user:1000}:settings "config"
• Memory Configuration:**
# redis.conf optimizations
maxmemory 2gb
maxmemory-policy allkeys-lru
# Compression settings
hash-max-ziplist-entries 512
hash-max-ziplist-value 64
list-max-ziplist-size -2
set-max-intset-entries 512
zset-max-ziplist-entries 128
• Data Expiration:**
# Set TTL on temporary data
r.setex('session:abc123', 3600, session_data) # 1 hour
r.expire('cache:product:456', 1800) # 30 minutes
# Lazy expiration
r.set('temp:data', value)
r.expire('temp:data', 300) # 5 minutes
• Memory Analysis:**
# Check memory usage
INFO memory
MEMORY USAGE mykey
MEMORY STATS
# Find large keys
redis-cli --bigkeys
redis-cli --memkeys
**Best Practices:**
• Monitor memory usage regularly
• Use appropriate data structures
• Set expiration on temporary data
• Compress large values
• Use memory-efficient key naming
