Frequently Asked Questions
What is STACKIT Redis?
STACKIT Redis is a fully managed in-memory data store based on the open-source Redis project. It works as a cache, database, or message broker for applications with high performance requirements.
What persistence options does STACKIT Redis offer?
STACKIT automatically creates regular backups of the instance with multi-day retention. For details on client-side persistence options, refer to the core Redis documentation.
What is the difference between Redis and Memcached?
Redis offers complex data structures, pub/sub messaging, and replication beyond simple key-value caching. Memcached, by contrast, is specialized for straightforward key-value caching.
How does high availability work with STACKIT Redis?
In replica-set mode, STACKIT runs multiple nodes, each holding a full copy of the data. This increases availability compared to a single-instance configuration.
Is STACKIT Redis GDPR compliant?
Yes, STACKIT Redis runs exclusively in German data centers. STACKIT is ISO 27001 certified and offers a data processing agreement (DPA).
