Running Redis on Ampere Processors- getting better performance by moving from a legacy architecture

If you are already running Redis, you already know its power and speed has made it the most popular key-value database. This comes from it holding the entire dataset in memory, allowing low latency reads and writes. But this isn’t anything that you don’t know.

What you might not know is that you can get better performance and better performance/watt (i.e. better energy efficiency) by just switching your server architecture from a legacy x86 system to the modern cloud native AArch64 architecture like Ampere Computing's Altra and Altra Max processors.
