Redis is a widely used open-source in-memory data store and cache that has become a key component in the development of scalable microservice systems. While all of the main cloud providers provide fully managed Redis services (Amazon ElastiCache, Azure Cache for Redis, and GCP Memorystore), it may also be simply implemented in Kubernetes if you require additional control over the Redis configurations.

This session will lead you through setting up a Redis cluster on Kubernetes with data persistence. The lesson would concentrate on establishing a "prod"-ready Redis cluster that considers storage and persistence even after restarts and discusses recommended practices and considerations.

With the help of monitoring and hardware optimizations for your cluster, you'll learn about measuring your performance and best practices for Redis on Kubernetes. We would conclude whether operators or Helm chart will be a more mature option for your Data on Kubernetes needs with Redis and a few tips as a production checklist.
