// quick answer
Redis Cloud is sub-millisecond inside its region; slowness is nearly always cross-region distance, slow commands or big values. Co-locate your app in the same cloud region.
Most likely fix: Co-locate the app
How to fix it
// try these in order, the most common fix is first
FIX 1Co-locate the app
- 01Check the database region in the console
- 02Deploy the app to the same cloud and region
- 03Use private connectivity on Pro for lower latency
Did this fix it?FIX 2Find slow commands
- 01Run SLOWLOG GET 20
- 02Replace KEYS with SCAN
- 03Split large values
Did this fix it?
Symptoms
Commands take tens to hundreds of ms or the app times out.
Why it happens
- C-01App in a different region/cloud than the database
- C-02KEYS or huge HGETALL
