Redis performance testing

Question

So I want to test redis by shooting 1000 set commands per sec and observe if the RAM usage shoots above a certain limit. I tried using redis-benchmark but it does not provide the facility to limit the rate to 1000 set command per nor can i set an expiry for keys. Also it simply returns the number of requests per second.

Also am going to use jedis client .I thought of using Jmeter to accomplish the above. Would that be a feasible option or is there any other tool or facility that redis provides to accomplish the same.

Answer 1

There is Redis Data Set extension which adds Redis load testing functionality into JMeter.

In order to set exact requests rate you can use Constant Throughput Timer.
