Redis Benchmarking Examples
Let’s explore some practical examples of how to use Redis Benchmarks:
Basic Benchmark
To perform a basic benchmark with 50 clients sending 100,000 requests each, use the following command:
Syntax:
redis-benchmark -c 50 -n 100000
This command will assess the Redis server’s performance under the specified load.
Benchmark with Custom Payload Size
You can test Redis’s performance with a custom payload size (e.g., 512 bytes) using the -d option.
Syntax:
redis-benchmark -c 10 -n 10000 -d 512
It measure how Redis handles larger data payloads.
Benchmark with Pipelining
To enable pipelining with 100 clients and 1,000 requests, use the -o option.
Syntax:
redis-benchmark -c 100 -n 1000 -o 1
Pipelining can significantly improve Redis’s throughput by batching multiple commands in a single request.
Benchmark with Key Pattern
You can simulate a workload where keys follow a specific pattern using the -k option.
Example
redis-benchmark -c 20 -n 50000 -k “user:%u:profile”
Note: Here, %u will be replaced with unique values for each key.
