Operational Impact
Whitepages achieved significant operational savings by using Redis on Flash, which stores cold values in flash-based SSDs, reducing the need for expensive RAM. | |
The company maintained high performance with Redis on Flash, even for datasets measured in terabytes, ensuring single-digit latency and meeting customer SLAs. | |
Replication through a master/slave configuration across two availability zones ensured high availability and reliability of the database. | |
Quantitative Benefit
Whitepages now uses only 30% of the RAM storage it previously used, resulting in hundreds of thousands of dollars in infrastructure savings each year. | |
The company handles upwards of 200,000 calls to Redis per second during peak volumes, maintaining single-digit latency. | |
