redis-benchmark measures Redis server performance. It simulates clients running various commands.
Multiple commands are tested by default. SET, GET, INCR, LPUSH, and others.
Concurrency tests parallel connections. Higher client counts stress the server more.
Pipelining batches requests. This tests throughput without network round-trip latency.
Data size affects memory and network. Larger payloads test different bottlenecks.

-h HOST

Server hostname.

Server port.

Concurrent clients.

Total requests.

Test commands.

Data size in bytes.

Pipeline N requests.

Quiet, show query/sec.

Authentication password.

CSV output.

Results vary by hardware and network. Local testing eliminates network overhead. Production has different patterns.

redis-benchmark is included with Redis, originally created by Salvatore Sanfilippo in 2009. It provides standardized performance testing for Redis deployments.
