Implementing practices like active expiration cycles, memory fragmentation management, and choosing appropriate eviction policies can help maintain performance under load. Additionally, explore strategies for connection limits, TCP keepalive, and the use of efficient Redis data structures. Regular monitoring and benchmarking are essential for ensuring optimal performance and avoiding system overload.
