Deploy and Optimize Redis on Arm
This is your technical guide to setting up, scaling, and tuning Redis and Memcached on Arm-based cloud infrastructure, ideal for caching, session storage, and high-throughput data pipelines.
Benefits of Running Redis on Arm
Running Redis and Memcached on Arm-based cloud CPUs like AWS Graviton, Google Axion, and Microsoft Cobalt gives developers a cost-efficient, low-latency platform for high-throughput memory caching. The Arm architecture enables lower power usage, better core density, and strong performance for real-time applications. With built-in support across major cloud providers, it’s easy to deploy and scale in production.
Get Started
Setup
To get started with Redis on Arm, install and configure Redis on an Arm-based cloud VM. You’ll verify system compatibility, benchmark memory behavior, and prep your environment for scaling.
Before starting, make sure you have:
- A 64-bit Arm CPU (Armv8-A or newer)
- Redis 7.0+ or Memcached 1.6+
- Access to a cloud VM or container orchestration platform
Install Redis on your preferred Arm-based instance and validate cache configuration and memory behavior.
Learn and Code
This section shows you how to build and tune high-performance caching layers using Redis and Memcached on Arm-based infrastructure.
