💅 NAME 💅

redis-benchmark — ok so bestie, this is the tool that benchmarks a Redis instance. (The original page spells it "Benechmark", and honestly? We're keeping the typo, it's part of the lore. 💀)

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

redis-benchmark [-h <host>] [-p <port>] [-c <clients>] [-n <requests]> [-k <boolean>]

That's the whole vibe check right there. Every flag gets its own lil moment below. 🫶

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

So Redis is a key-value database. It's giving memcached energy, but make it main character: the dataset is not volatile (no cap, your data stays put), and it natively supports other datatypes too, like lists and sets. 🌸

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • -h hostname — Server hostname (default 127.0.0.1). Yes, localhost, your comfort zone. 🏠
  • -p port — Server port (default 6379). The classic. The iconic. The one you know by heart. 👑
  • -s socket — Server socket (this one overrides host and port, so like, it wins the argument, periodt). 🔌
  • -a password — Password for Redis Auth. 🔐
  • -c clients — Number of parallel connections (default 50). Bring the whole group chat. 👯
  • -n requests — Total number of requests (default 100000). That's a lot of asks, bestie. 💌
  • -d size — Data size of SET/GET value in bytes (default 2). Lil baby values. 🍓
  • -dbnum db — SELECT the specified db number (default 0). Picking your lane. 🚪
  • -k boolean — 1=keep alive, 0=reconnect (default 1). Choose your social battery level. 🔋
  • -r keyspacelen — Use random keys for SET/GET/INCR, random values for SADD. Using this option the benchmark will get/set keys in the form mykey_rand000000012456 instead of constant keys, and the <keyspacelen> argument determines the max number of values for the random number. For instance if set to 10 only the rand000000000000 - rand000000000009 range will be allowed. Chaos mode, but controlled chaos. 🌈
  • -P numreq — Pipeline <numreq> requests. Default 1 (no pipeline). Batch it, babe. 📦
  • -q — Quiet. Just show query/sec values. Not me being mysterious. 🤫
  • --csv — Output in CSV format. Spreadsheet girlies rise. 📊
  • -l — Loop. Run the tests forever. Forever. No off switch, we die like legends. ♾️
  • -I — Idle mode. Just open N idle connections and wait. The art of doing nothing, but professionally. 😌
  • -D — Debug mode. More verbose. It's giving very talkative. 🗣️
