Step 1: Configure Database

Configure the following database settings:

Max Memory Policy

Configure the eviction policy for when memory limits are reached:

noeviction: Returns errors when memory limit is reached
allkeys-lru: Evicts least recently used keys
volatile-lru: Evicts least recently used keys with expiration set
allkeys-random: Evicts random keys
volatile-random: Evicts random keys with expiration set
volatile-ttl: Evicts keys with shortest time-to-live

Note

Choose the eviction policy that best fits your use case. allkeys-lru is recommended for most general-purpose applications.
