Redis Management Tools - Implementation Summary

Implementation Date: 2025-10-10 Stage: 3 of 6 (Magento 2 Cluster Control) Status: ✅ COMPLETE

🎯 Implementation Overview

Successfully implemented comprehensive Redis cache management toolkit with 3 specialized instance types optimized for Magento 2's caching architecture.

Implemented Tools (7 total)

  1. redis_status - Get all instances with details
  2. redis_create_cache_instance - Magento default cache (1GB, no persist)
  3. redis_create_session_instance - Session storage (512MB, persist)
  4. redis_create_fpc_instance - Full-page cache (1GB, no persist)
  5. redis_start_instance - Start instance by port
  6. redis_stop_instance - Stop instance by port
  7. redis_flush_instance - Clear all keys (FLUSHALL)

🔥 Magento 2 Redis Architecture

Magento 2 best practices use 3 separate Redis instances:

Instance 1: Default Cache

  • Purpose: Object cache, config, layout, translations
  • Memory: 1GB
  • Policy: volatile-lru (evict LRU keys with TTL)
  • Persistence: Disabled (cache can rebuild)
  • Tool: redis_create_cache_instance

Instance 2: Session Storage

  • Purpose: Customer sessions, admin sessions
  • Memory: 512MB
  • Policy: volatile-lru
  • Persistence: Enabled (sessions survive restarts)
  • Save: Every 600 seconds if 1+ key changed
  • Tool: redis_create_session_instance

Instance 3: Full-Page Cache

  • Purpose: Varnish alternative, HTML output cache
  • Memory: 1GB
  • Policy: volatile-lru
  • Persistence: Disabled (rebuild on demand)
  • Tool: redis_create_fpc_instance

🔧 Tool Details

1. redis_status

Endpoint: GET /v1/clusters/{id}/servers/{id}/managed/redis

Returns:

  • Redis version
  • Instance count (X/24 max)
  • Per-instance details:
    • Port number
    • Status (running/stopped)
    • Description
    • Optimization type
    • Memory allocation

Example Output:

Redis Status on C-1234/cache-a:
Version: 7.0.11
Instances: 3/24

Instance on Port 6379:
  Status: running
  Description: Magento 2 Default Cache
  Optimization: cache
  Memory: 1073741824B

Instance on Port 6380:
  Status: running
  Description: Magento 2 Session Storage
  Optimization: session
  Memory: 536870912B

Instance on Port 6381:
  Status: running
  Description: Magento 2 Full Page Cache
  Optimization: full-page-cache
  Memory: 1073741824B

2-4. Redis Instance Creation Tools

All three creation tools return ready-to-use Magento 2 configuration:

redis_create_cache_instance

Endpoint: POST /v1/clusters/{id}/servers/{id}/managed/redis/instances

Request Payload:

{
  "optimization": "cache",
  "malloc": "1073741824",
  "maxmemoryPolicy": "volatile-lru",
  "persistence": false,
  "access": false,
  "description": "Magento 2 Default Cache"
}

Returns:

Redis Cache Instance Created Successfully:
Port: 6379
Optimization: Cache
Memory: 1GB
Policy: volatile-lru
Persistence: Disabled

Magento 2 Configuration (app/etc/env.php):
'cache' => [
    'frontend' => [
        'default' => [
            'backend' => 'Cm_Cache_Backend_Redis',
            'backend_options' => [
                'server' => '127.0.0.1',
                'port' => '6379',
                'database' => '0',
                'compress_data' => '1'
            ]
        ]
    ]
],

redis_create_session_instance

Optimizations:

  • 512MB (smaller than cache, sessions are smaller)
  • Persistence enabled (critical - don't lose sessions on restart)
  • Save every 600s if 1+ key changed

Returns Complete Magento 2 Session Config:

  • All timeout settings
  • Compression settings
  • Locking configuration
  • Bot session handling
  • Lifetime settings

redis_create_fpc_instance

Optimizations:

  • 1GB (same as default cache)
  • No persistence (FPC can rebuild from Magento)
  • No compression (HTML already compressed)

5-7. Instance Control Tools

redis_start_instance

Endpoint: POST /.../redis/instances/{port}/actions/start

Starts a stopped Redis instance.

redis_stop_instance

Endpoint: POST /.../redis/instances/{port}/actions/stop

Gracefully stops a Redis instance.

redis_flush_instance

Endpoint: POST /.../redis/instances/{port}/actions/clear_data

Executes FLUSHALL - deletes all keys in the instance.

Use Cases:

  • Clear Magento cache after code deploy
  • Reset demo environment
  • Free up memory
  • Troubleshoot cache issues

Warning: Cannot be undone!

🏗️ Technical Implementation

Helper Method: createRedisInstance()

Reusable Redis instance creator:

private async createRedisInstance(
  params: any,
  optimization: string,
  memory: string,
  memoryPolicy: string,
  persistence: boolean,
  saveSeconds?: string,
  saveKeys?: string,
)

Benefits:

  • DRY principle - no code duplication
  • Consistent request structure
  • Centralized error handling
  • Easy to add new optimization types

Parameters:

  • optimization: cache | session | full-page-cache | custom
  • memory: Bytes as string (1073741824 = 1GB)
  • memoryPolicy: volatile-lru | allkeys-lru | etc.
  • persistence: Boolean - enable RDB snapshots
  • saveSeconds: Snapshot interval (if persistent)
  • saveKeys: Min key changes to trigger save (if persistent)

Memory Sizes

MaxCluster Redis instances use byte values:

256MB  = 268435456
512MB  = 536870912
1GB    = 1073741824
2GB    = 2147483648
4GB    = 4294967296

Optimization Types

MaxCluster supports 4 optimization types:

  1. cache - General caching (Magento default cache)
  2. session - Session storage (Magento sessions)
  3. full-page-cache - FPC (Magento page cache)
  4. custom - User-defined settings

✅ Magento 2 Integration Workflow

# Returns port: 6379

# Step 3: Create session instance
redis_create_session_instance C-1234 cache-a --description="Magento 2 Sessions"
# Returns port: 6380
