I never trust metrics from a company anymore, see the bloodbath comment thread on the recent Kafka vs Redpanda for proof.


Their blog post goes into detail on how they are benchmarking and they use the benchmarking tool developed by Redis [1]

> We ran our tests on AWS Graviton2 EC2 instances, which are network-optimized and provide the best performance for web applications. We used memtier_benchmark — a widely used benchmarking tool developed by Redis Ltd. — to test throughput and latency, and Prometheus to monitor and visualize memory usage.

It is easy to reproduce and check the claims. Redis also countered with a blog post [2]
