Redis cache is getting full, and the allocated maxmemory
appears to be insufficient. The layout cache didn’t have TTL and was not evicted, causing cache growth and eviction of other keys in Redis. As a result, all Redis memory was allocated for layout cache.
Prerequisites:
- The user must be on Adobe Commerce 2.4 and have 100K simple products (product type does not matter) and 50 categories.
- Redis cache must be configured according to steps given in Adobe Commerce Configuration Guide > Use Redis for the Adobe Commerce page and default cache in our developer documentation.
Steps to reproduce:
- Browse through all the PDPs and PLPs. You can use OWASP ZAP to crawl the site.
- Observe the Redis memory usage.
- Also, check current configuration and used memory. Run the following command in the CLI. It checks for used memory, maxmemory, evicted keys, and Redis up time in days:
redis-cli -p REDIS_PORT -h REDIS_HOST info | egrep --color "(role|used_memory_peak|maxmemory|evicted_keys|uptime_in_days)"
Expected results:
Redis cache should not be rapidly growing.
Actual results:
Redis cache grows up to ~5GB. There is a max limit of 8GB of Redis memory, so if you have 1M products, you will run out of memory very quickly.
