    Notes about CPU cores

    To ensure service stability, the system reserves a CPU core to process background tasks. In a cluster instance or a read/write splitting instance, the system reserves a CPU core for each data shard or each read replica to process background tasks.

    Calculation rules for bandwidth values

    • Each bandwidth value in the preceding tables represents the maximum bandwidth for an instance of the corresponding instance type, which is the combined bandwidth of all shards or nodes in the instance. The maximum bandwidth for each shard is 96 Mbit/s.

    • If the default proxy endpoint is used by a cluster instance, the maximum bandwidth for the cluster instance is 2,048 Mbit/s. After the upper limit is reached, the bandwidth cannot be increased even if you add more shards to the cluster instance.

      Note

      To handle network traffic peaks, you can enable the direct connection mode. For more information, see Enable the direct connection mode. The direct connection mode is applicable only to cluster instances. In direct connection mode, the maximum bandwidth of the instance is equal to the maximum bandwidth of a single shard multiplied by the number of shards. For example, if a cluster instance contains 128 shards and each shard is allocated a memory of more than 1 GB, the maximum bandwidth of the instance is 12,288 Mbit/s.

    • The bandwidth value is applicable to the upstream and downstream bandwidths. For example, if the bandwidth of an instance is 10 Mbit/s, the upstream and downstream bandwidths of the instance are both 10 Mbit/s.

      Note

      If your instance may experience an unexpected or anticipated surge in traffic, you can adjust the bandwidth of the instance on demand. For more information, see Manually increase the bandwidth of an instance.

    • The bandwidth limits of Tair and Redis refer to the data transfer capacity of individual shards within their respective distributed systems. The limits are generally independent of the network connection types used by clients to connect to the shards.

    Calculation rules for connections

    Item

    Description

    Maximum number of connections

    • Proxy mode: 500,000. If the upper limit of 500,000 connections is reached, subsequent connections cannot be established even if you add more shards or nodes.

      Note

      When you run a specific Pub/Sub, blocking, or transaction command on a cluster instance in proxy mode, the system establishes a dedicated backend connection for your client. In this case, the maximum number of connections to the instance is subject to the maximum number of connections to a single shard in direct connection mode. This is because the connections cannot be aggregated in this scenario.

    • Direct connection mode: 30,000 for a single shard. Maximum number of connections to an instance = Number of shards × 30,000.

    Maximum number of new connections per second

    The maximum number of new connections per second refers to the number of connections that can be established per second.

    • Proxy mode: 50,000. For example, assume that the actual number of connections at the Nth second after the instance starts to run is 12,000. In this case, at the (N+1)th second, the maximum number of connections is 62,000. This value is calculated by using the following formula: 12,000 + 50,000.

      Note

      When you run a specific Pub/Sub, blocking, or transaction command on a cluster instance in proxy mode, the actual number of new connections to the instance per second is subject to the maximum number of connections to a single shard in direct connection mode.

    • Direct connection mode: 2,000. For example, if an instance has four data shards, the maximum number of new connections to the instance per second is 8,000.

    FAQ

    • Why is the maximum number of connections to my instance different from that described in this topic?

      The maximum number of connections of specific instance types may be adjusted after the service is upgraded. If the maximum number of connections to your instance is different from that described in this topic, change the configurations of your instance to update the bandwidth. Make sure that you select the same instance type when you change the configurations. For more information, see Change the configurations of an instance.

    • Why am I unable to write data to a cluster instance when instance memory is not exhausted?

      This is because the instance contains exhausted data shards. Redis uses the hash algorithm to evenly write data to different data shards. If the instance contains large keys, resources are unevenly distributed in the instance and the data shards that house these large keys may even be exhausted. In this case, specific write requests to the instance may fail.

      You can use the Performance Monitor feature to check and optimize the performance of each data shard. For more information, see View the performance metrics of child nodes in an ApsaraDB for Redis cluster instance.
