What does Redis consulting from AceMQ include?
Our Redis consulting covers architecture design, performance tuning, cluster operations, security hardening, health assessments, and migration planning. Every Redis consulting engagement is led by a senior engineer with production Redis experience — not a generalist. AceMQ is recognized as a Redis Premier Global Services Partner and the Go-To North American Redis Partner.
Do you support both open-source Redis and Redis Enterprise?
Yes. We work with open-source Redis Community Edition (all versions), Redis Enterprise on-prem and cloud, Amazon ElastiCache, Azure Cache for Redis and Azure Managed Redis, and Google Memorystore. Our engineers are platform-agnostic and recommend the right deployment model for your requirements.
How much does Redis Enterprise cost?
Redis Ltd publishes list prices only for Redis Cloud, its hosted service. Its pricing page (redis.io/pricing, checked 20 October 2026) shows a free plan up to 30 MB, Essentials from $0.007 an hour ($5 a month at the entry size) on shared infrastructure, and Pro from $0.014 an hour with a $200 monthly minimum for dedicated deployments. Redis Software, the edition you run on your own servers, has no public price: on-premises and hybrid deployments are sold on an annual plan through Redis sales, so the figure depends on your quote. AceMQ supports Redis Enterprise estates as well as open-source Redis and Valkey, and can set a renewal quote against the cost of running the open-source engine with support.
What is Redis Stack and when should we use it instead of open-source Redis?
Redis Stack extends the open-source Redis core with additional modules: RediSearch (full-text search), RedisJSON (native JSON document support), RedisGraph (graph queries), and RedisTimeSeries (time-series data). If your application needs any of these advanced data models, Redis Stack is the right path. We help you evaluate whether the Community Edition meets your needs or whether Redis Stack's capabilities justify the additional complexity — and we support both paths fully.
Is AceMQ a certified Redis partner?
Yes. AceMQ is recognized by Redis as a Premier Global Services Partner. We are widely recognized as the Go-To North American Redis Partner, with a global footprint serving clients across 26+ countries. This partnership reflects our depth of Redis expertise and our commitment to delivering enterprise-grade Redis consulting and support.
Can you help us decide between Redis Sentinel and Redis Cluster?
Absolutely. The choice depends on your dataset size, sharding needs, and failover latency requirements. We walk through the tradeoffs and design the right topology for your team to operate confidently.
How quickly can you respond to a production Redis incident?
Our Redis support SLA is 15 minutes. Redis expert support means you reach a senior Redis engineer directly — not a first-line help desk — who can diagnose memory pressure, replication failures, key evictions, or network partitions in real time.
Which companies offer Redis support?
Four kinds. Redis Ltd sells Redis Enterprise and Redis Cloud with support tied to its commercial products. The cloud providers support their managed services (ElastiCache and MemoryDB on AWS, Memorystore on Google Cloud, Azure Cache for Redis and Azure Managed Redis) but not a cluster you run yourself. Independent Redis support providers, AceMQ among them, cover open-source Redis and Valkey wherever it runs, on your own servers, in Kubernetes or on a managed service, with a contracted response time and a named engineer. And in-house teams, which is fine until the failure nobody has seen. Judge any Redis support provider on version coverage, whether open source is in scope, and who actually answers a P1. We answer in 15 minutes, 24/7.
Can AceMQ run our Redis for us?
Yes. Managed Redis services from AceMQ run Redis or Valkey on your own infrastructure, in your cloud account or data centre, with AceMQ owning monitoring, patching, upgrades, failover, capacity and on-call under a 15-minute emergency SLA. Nothing moves to a provider service, which is the difference from ElastiCache, Memorystore or Azure Managed Redis.
Can you help us decide between Redis Open Source, Redis Software and Valkey?
Yes, and the licence is now part of that decision. Redis 7.2 and earlier are BSD licensed; from 7.4 Redis moved to RSALv2 and SSPLv1, and Redis 8 added AGPLv3 as a third option; Valkey stays BSD. Redis Software adds commercial features and vendor support from Redis Ltd. We compare them against your workload, client libraries, compliance position and cloud plans, and say plainly when a migration is not worth doing.
What are Redis professional services?
Engagement work rather than a support contract: an architecture review or health check, capacity and memory sizing, a Sentinel versus Cluster decision, a migration (to Valkey, between managed services, or off a licensed product), performance tuning, and training for the team that will run it. AceMQ scopes each to a written outcome, quoted within 24 hours, and the engineer who does the assessment stays on the work. Most clients pair a professional services engagement for the change with a support contract for what comes after.
Do I need Redis consulting or a support contract?
Consulting is project work with a written outcome: an architecture review, a Sentinel versus Cluster decision, performance tuning, or a move to Valkey. Redis support services are cover for production, with a response time, 24/7 availability and a named engineer. Many teams buy a review first and a contract afterwards. AceMQ's support runs in four stages: reactive cover, proactive cover with monitoring, managed Redis on your infrastructure, and managed Redis on ours. Most teams begin with the first two, and the support page sets out each stage.
What are common issues with Redis?
Most production Redis incidents come from a short list: memory pressure and eviction that removes hot keys before their TTL; latency spikes from fork pauses during RDB snapshots or AOF rewrites; slow O(N) commands such as KEYS or an unbounded SMEMBERS blocking the single-threaded command loop; replicas that fall behind the replication backlog and force repeated full resyncs; and failovers where the client keeps writing to the old primary. Cluster resharding that leaves a slot uncovered is the usual cause of CLUSTERDOWN. Each has a first diagnostic step, and the Redis support page sets them out symptom by symptom.
Is Redis 6 end of life?
Partly. In Redis Open Source, 6.0 is no longer supported and is past end of life. Redis 6.2 is an extended release supported until 1 April 2027, according to the Redis version management page (checked 20 October 2026), and after that date no Redis 6 version receives upstream security fixes. AceMQ supports the version you run, plans the upgrade, and where you need CVE patches on 6.2.x or 7.0.x before you can move, backports them through OSSeva. The Redis support page has the full version table.
Do you offer a Redis assessment or health check?
Yes. A Redis assessment is an engineer-led review of how your instances are actually used: memory profile and eviction, persistence, replication and failover, client behaviour, security and monitoring, with a written report and a ranked fix list. It is the first step of most Redis engagements, including a move to Valkey. We scope it on instance count and come back with a written quote within 24 hours.
