  1. T+5s

    +sdown master mymaster

    Sentinel s1 has had no valid reply from redis-a for down-after-milliseconds and marks it subjectively down.

  2. T+5s

    +odown master mymaster #quorum 2/2

    A second Sentinel agrees. Quorum is reached, so the primary is objectively down and a failover can start.

  3. T+6s

    +elected-leader master mymaster

    The Sentinels vote, and s2 wins a majority to run the failover.

  4. T+6s

    +promoted-slave slave redis-b

    s2 picks the best replica and sends it REPLICAOF NO ONE. redis-c is told to replicate from redis-b.

  5. T+7s

    +switch-master mymaster redis-a redis-b

    Clients that ask Sentinel for the primary now get redis-b, and writes resume. redis-a rejoins as a replica when it comes back.

Timings are illustrative. Real ones depend on down-after-milliseconds, failover-timeout, client retry settings and your network.

The Problem

Why teams call us about Redis

Eight things people tell us on the first call. If one of them describes your week, that is where the review starts.

  1. 01

    Memory keeps growing while the key count stays flat, and nothing explains the gap

  2. 02

    Clients time out while every server-side metric insists the node is healthy

  3. 03

    A maxmemory ceiling was set once, years ago, and eviction has never actually engaged

  4. 04

    RDB snapshots fork-stall the process long enough for requests to pile up behind them

  5. 05

    Failover has been configured but never tested, so nobody knows what it does under load

  6. 06

    Redis is doing three jobs — cache, queue, session store — and one of them keeps starving the others

  7. 07

    The ElastiCache or Memorystore bill grew without the workload growing with it

  8. 08

    The Valkey question keeps coming up and there is no decision framework for answering it

Eviction, illustrated

What Redis does when it reaches maxmemory.

Pick a policy, then push four new writes into a full instance. The policy decides which key leaves, or whether the write fails.

Instance is full. Choose a policy and write.

noeviction
New writes fail with an OOM error once memory is full. Reads still work. Safe for data you cannot lose, painful for a cache.
allkeys-lru
Evicts the key used least recently, from all keys. The usual choice for a pure cache.
allkeys-lfu
Evicts the key used least often, from all keys. Hot keys survive even if nobody touched them in the last few seconds.
volatile-lru
Evicts the least recently used key among keys that have a TTL. Keys without a TTL are never evicted, and once no key with a TTL is left, writes fail as with noeviction.
volatile-ttl
Evicts the key with a TTL that is closest to expiring. Same catch: no key with a TTL, no eviction.

Redis approximates LRU and LFU by sampling a few keys (maxmemory-samples) rather than scanning all of them. This lab picks the exact candidate so each policy is easy to see.

What a Redis health check covers

Our Services

Redis Consulting & Services

Every engagement is staffed by a senior Redis engineer — no juniors, no ticket queues.

  • 01

    Redis Architecture & Implementation

    We design and build Redis deployments purpose-built for your workload — caching, session storage, pub/sub, or advanced data models with Redis Stack. Every engagement is led by a senior engineer with production Redis experience, not a generalist.

    • Data structure and persistence strategy selection (RDB vs AOF)
    • Memory optimization and eviction policy tuning
    • Redis Stack module implementation: RediSearch, RedisJSON, RedisTimeSeries
    • Security hardening: ACL configuration, TLS enforcement, network isolation
  • 02

    Redis Cluster & High Availability

    We build and operate Redis Sentinel and Redis Cluster deployments that survive node failures, network partitions, and rolling upgrades without application impact. Our engineers design the right topology for your failover latency and sharding requirements.

    • Redis Cluster setup with automatic sharding and rebalancing
    • Sentinel quorum configuration for automatic failover
    • Cross-region replication and disaster recovery planning
    • Monitoring integration: Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog
  • 03

    Redis Emergency Support & Remediation

    When Redis degrades in production, our engineers respond within 15 minutes and stay online through resolution and root cause analysis. You reach a senior Redis engineer directly — not a first-line help desk.

    • Break-fix for production outages: memory pressure, replication failures, OOM
    • Root cause analysis (RCA) with written findings
    • Emergency cluster stabilization and failover execution
    • Post-incident hardening to prevent recurrence
  • 04

    Redis Health, Security & Ongoing Support

    Proactive health assessments catch configuration risks and compliance gaps before they become incidents. Our managed support programs add 24/7 monitoring, capacity planning, and a dedicated senior engineer.

    • Cluster health checks: replication lag, memory fragmentation, keyspace analysis
    • Security audit: ACL review, TLS enforcement, network exposure
    • Compliance reviews for SOC 2, PCI-DSS, and HIPAA environments
    • Flexible SLAs: 24/7 monitoring, dedicated engineer, quarterly performance reviews
  • 05

    Redis Migration & Modernization

    Moving from Memcached, legacy Redis, or a cloud-managed service? We plan and execute migrations with zero downtime and full data integrity verification.

    • Memcached-to-Redis and legacy Redis version upgrade planning
    • Cloud migration: self-hosted to Redis Cloud or ElastiCache
    • RDB dump analysis and data validation
    • Rollback procedures and canary cutover strategies
  • 15 MIN SLA

    24/7 Redis Support

    Named senior engineers on your account — 15-minute emergency response, no ticket routing, no junior triage.

    • 15-minute emergency response SLA
    • Named engineer, zero cold-start
    • Proactive CVE & health monitoring
    • Quarterly deployment reviews

How It Works

What actually happens next

Four stages, each with a written output, so your team can see what changes and why before anything does.

1–2 weeks

Instance and workload review

We look at memory profile, eviction policy, persistence config, replication topology and the access patterns actually hitting the keyspace — not just the dashboard metrics.

Within a week

Written findings and plan

What is causing the symptom, what is merely correlated with it, and what to change first. Sized for your own engineering leadership to sign off.

Scoped per engagement

Implementation alongside your team

Changes staged so the platform keeps serving throughout — including staggered rotation where a restart would otherwise mean an outage.

Ongoing

Handover and optional cover

Runbooks for your topology's specific failure modes, plus 24/7 support with a 15-minute emergency SLA if you want it.

A senior engineer, not an SDR. No sales sequence attached.

Redis or Valkey

Three paths after the licence change.

Redis 7.2 and earlier are BSD licensed. From 7.4 Redis moved to RSALv2 and SSPLv1, Redis 8 added AGPLv3 as a third option, and Valkey stays BSD. Which path fits depends on your workload, your clients and your legal team, not on a default.

  • Stay on Redis Open Source

    Reasonable where the licence terms suit your legal team. We check the version you run, client libraries and the upgrade path, and say plainly when staying is the cheaper answer.

  • Move to Redis Software

    Adds commercial features and vendor support from Redis Ltd. It pays off if you use those features; if you only want a response time, an independent contract usually covers it.

  • Move to Valkey

    The BSD fork that continues from Redis 7.2.4 under the Linux Foundation. We test client libraries, persistence and failover against your workload before any cutover.

FAQs

Redis Questions Answered

Common questions about Redis consulting, support, and migrations.

Still have questions about Redis?

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.
