Tools for Redis Cache

Redis CLI

The Redis Command Line interface is a very popular command-line tool that is used to connect to Redis Cache and do several management operations.

Redis-benchmark utility

The Redis-benchmark utility is a special tool available through the Redis CLI that simulates some load on a Redis Cache instance. It runs a set of tests against the instance, simulating a number of connected clients, and gives a way to ensure that the cache is provisioned at the correct scale.

Redis-benchmark -q -n 10000

It is recommended to create a virtual machine that contains the Redis CLI and execute it from there.

stunnel

stunnel is a simple utility that will take non-SSL connections and tunnel them through SSL so that a tool like Redis CLI, which does not natively support SSL, can still connect through an SSL endpoint.
