What are some effective strategies for scaling Redis?

There are several strategies for scaling Redis, including vertical scaling, horizontal scaling, and sharding. Would you like to know more about each?

Yes, please explain vertical and horizontal scaling.

Vertical scaling involves adding more resources (CPU, RAM) to a single Redis instance, while horizontal scaling means adding more instances to distribute the load. Each has its pros and cons.

What are the pros and cons of each scaling method?

Vertical scaling is simpler but can hit hardware limits, while horizontal scaling offers better fault tolerance and load distribution but requires more complex management.

How does sharding work in Redis?

Sharding in Redis involves splitting your dataset across multiple Redis instances, allowing you to handle larger datasets and improve performance by distributing the load.
