Redis Connections Client-side guidance for talking to Redis efficiently: how to share connections, how to batch commands, which commands not to call in production, when to turn on client-side caching, and how to set timeouts that fail fast without breaking healthy traffic. When to apply Creating or reviewing a Redis client setup (redis-py, Jedis, Lettuce, go-redis, NRedisStack). Making many small Redis calls and wondering where the latency is going. Iterating large keyspaces, sets, hashes, or lists. Enabling client-side caching for hot keys. Tuning connect / read / write timeouts. 1. Pool or multiplex — never one connection per request The single biggest mistake in Redis client code is opening a new TCP connection for every operation. Always either: Pool — keep N persistent connections that the application leases per call (redis-py ConnectionPool , Jedis JedisPooled , go-redis client). Multiplex — share a single connection across all requests (Lettuce, NRedisStack).
