REDISPERFORMANCEUNDER CONTROL

With Redis we lower latency, relieve databases and build more resilient systems – from session store to a distributed lightweight queue.

We areRedisarchitects

We design key strategies, TTLs and memory policies so observability and cost stay in view – without surprises during peaks.

Cache-aside, write-through and invalidation concepts
Sessions, locks and idempotent worker patterns
Pub/sub and streams for real-time scenarios
Persistence, replication and failover considerations

In-memory speed

Sub-millisecond access relieves relational databases and makes frequently read data instantly available – critical for checkout and catalogue.

Data structures for real problems

Strings, hashes, sets, sorted sets, streams: we choose structures matching your access patterns instead of generic key-value.

Distributed locks & rate limits

Race conditions and bots can be mitigated with token-based limits and short locks – without blocking your primary database.

Pub/sub & Redis Streams

Real-time notifications, fan-out and consumer groups: we build resilient message flows for live dashboards and workflow signals.

SaaS vs. customised software: the decision matrix for SMEs

Most build-versus-buy decisions are made on the wrong axis. The question of SaaS or customised software is not a question of cost - it is a question of differentiation. Plus: the decision matrix and the hybrid route.

Frequently asked questions about Redis

When is Redis worth it for our project?

Redis pays off as soon as repeated reads or computations start straining your database or latency becomes noticeable. We use it as a caching layer in front of Shopware, APIs or Next.js, but also for sessions, rate limiting, locks or pub/sub and streams in real-time scenarios. If your system barely sees load or the data is already fast enough, we'll honestly tell you to skip it.

How do you integrate Redis into our existing architecture?

We add Redis as an extra layer alongside your database, not as a replacement. Depending on the use case we work with cache-aside or write-through and define a clear invalidation concept so stale data never gets served. Existing session stores or caches are connected step by step, so your running operation isn't interrupted in the process.

What does a migration from Memcached or an ad-hoc cache look like?

We first analyse which keys, TTLs and access patterns are in use today and map them onto a clean key strategy in Redis. Since Redis does far more than a plain key-value cache, we check where sessions, locks or pub/sub can sensibly move over as well. We run the switch in a controlled way so hit rates stay measurable and nothing goes live unverified.

What happens to the data in Redis if the server fails?

Redis keeps data primarily in memory, but it can be safeguarded via persistence mechanisms so a restart doesn't wipe everything. For higher availability we plan replication and failover, for example for session clustering with sticky sessions. The honest distinction matters: for pure caching a data loss is tolerable, while for critical state we deliberately choose the right persistence and failover strategy.

How do you operate Redis day to day and keep costs under control?

We design TTLs and memory policies so memory doesn't grow uncontrolled and eviction stays predictable. In monitoring we keep an eye on memory, eviction, latency and the slowlog, so bottlenecks surface before the peak rather than during it. That keeps observability and cost transparent instead of letting unexpected surprises appear under load.
