Description |
|
DRAM-based instances use a multi-threaded model, delivering approximately 3x the read/write performance of a same-spec Redis Open-Source Edition instance.
DRAM-based instances also support the classic deployment mode.
|
|
|
Persistent memory-optimized instances persist data without disks, delivering near-identical throughput and latency to Redis Open-Source Edition instances while persisting each operation. Standard instances offer up to 30% cost savings over Redis Open-Source Edition.

|
ESSD/SSD-based instances store data on disks with memory-accelerated caching, reducing costs by up to 85% compared with Redis Open-Source Edition at approximately 60% of the performance of Redis Open-Source Edition. Suitable for warm and cold data scenarios requiring Redis compatibility, large capacity, and high performance. Up to 32,768 GB (128 GB × 256 shards) of memory and 327,680 GB (1,280 GB × 256 shards) of standard storage. |
FAQ
-
Do I need to reserve memory for snapshots?
No. Redis Open-Source Edition and Tair (Enterprise Edition) instances require no snapshot memory reservation. The listed memory capacity is fully available and includes user data, instance overhead, and network connections.
-
What happens if QPS exceeds the specification maximum?
QPS reference values are guidelines, not hard limits. Monitor CPU utilization and bandwidth usage — exceeding thresholds may affect service availability.
NoteQPS values in the specification tables are measured with simple GET/SET commands using 16-byte data. Actual QPS depends on command complexity, request size, and access patterns. Run stress tests for your workloads and review the performance whitepaper.
-
Why is a specific specification type unavailable?
The specification type may be phased out. For more information, see Retired instance types.
-
How do I look up specifications by instance class?
Enter the instance class in the search box at the top of the Alibaba Cloud documentation page.
-
How do I test the performance of Tair instances?
You can test the performance of Tair instances using the methods in the Performance whitepaper.
