Installing Redis 6.2.4 on Linux with GCC 9 and Systemd Service

Click the blue “DevOps Architecture Practice” to follow me.

Share to “Moments”, and every morning at 08:06 I push practical content!

GCC needs to be upgraded to version 9.0 or higher. gcc --version gcc (GCC) 9.3.0

Check Redis configuration: redis 127.0.0.1:6379> CONFIG GET maxclients

1) "maxclients"

2) "10000"

Performance tuning suggestions:

1. Adjust the system's maximum number of connections.

2. Optimize memory settings.

3. Compress data before storing it in Redis.

4. Deploy multiple clusters for distributed scaling.
