Five-nines availability: The ultimate benchmark of system availability. Instead, to speed up response times, applications are now processing most data at the network’s perimeter, closest to the data’s origin. But is five nines availability attainable? Each decimal point closer to 100 equals higher uptime.

Key metrics like throughput, request latency, and memory utilization are essential for assessing Redis health, with tools like the MONITOR command and Redis-benchmark for latency and throughput analysis and MEMORY USAGE/STATS commands for evaluating memory. A reduced throughput could generally indicate that the server gets fewer queries.

For the rest of us, if you really need that extra performance (maybe what you get out-of-the-box or with minimal tuning is good enough for your use case) then you can upgrade hardware and/or pay for a commercial license of a tuned distributed (RHEL). A second takeaway is this: security has a cost! Measuring the kernel. Headline results.
