On-call burden — sound familiar?
- ▸ No defined eviction-policy review cadence —
maxmemory-policyset to defaults at deploy, never re-evaluated; cache hit ratio drifting and nobody's noticed. - ▸ ElastiCache CloudWatch alerts ignored — AWS CloudWatch fires on
DatabaseMemoryUsagePercentagedaily; alerts treated as noise, but one was actually a runaway client query. - ▸ Client library upgrades unowned — application teams upgrade redis-py / ioredis on their schedule; some are years behind, some are bleeding edge, and Valkey compatibility varies.
JusDB takes the pager — 24/7 coverage, runbooks for every alert, 15-min Sev-1 SLA. Book a Remote-DBA call →
