It’s common knowledge that Redis is lightning-fast, and while its SDKs come with solid default settings, fine-tuning them to your app’s unique needs can unlock even greater performance for caches, real-time updates, or pub/sub systems.

Join us, a Redis client library team lead and a performance engineer, in this 50-minute talk as we show you how to X-ray your Redis-powered apps with precise measurements to optimize performance. Starting with a simple app using default client library settings, we’ll reveal how misconfigurations can hurt speed. We’ll share how we design benchmarks to measure latency and throughput, offering a peek behind the curtains at how Redis experts think and where they hunt for bottlenecks. We’ll iteratively tweak SDK settings—connection pooling, pipelining, and more—measuring improvements and uncovering hidden issues at each step.

You’ll walk away with practical techniques to diagnose and tune your Redis apps, ensuring your leaderboards, session stores, or real-time features run at peak performance.
