Operational Impact
For Coffee Meets Bagel, the biggest benefit of Redis Enterprise VPC is also the biggest requirement: high performance. Previously, we needed to throttle at three server workers in order to avoid huge CPU spikes, but with Redis Enterprise, we’re up to 18 without any performance issues whatsoever. It’s really sped up our development cycle. Instead of waiting for operational performance to scale for new application features and expansion, we’re waiting for the developers to catch up to performance. | |
In addition to high performance, Coffee Meets Bagel has seen many other benefits as a result of its move to Redis Enterprise, including 24/7 support, automated operations, and significant cost savings to name a few. | |
Redis Enterprise provides automated scaling, failover, cluster creation, persistence, and high availability, allowing Coffee Meets Bagel to avoid the operational complexities that would otherwise come with maintaining Redis in an enterprise environment. Redis Enterprise’s auto scaling capabilities have eliminated days of manual effort previously required to ensure that workers were readily available for scaling during high-traffic times. In addition, we’ve had no problem achieving 99.99% uptime. | |
Quantitative Benefit
With Redis on Flash acting as a memory extender for older data, we’ve seen AWS costs savings upwards of 40% for the year, with no sacrifice in latency. | |
