Redis
Redis stores session data and Magento's backend cache in memory, eliminating slow disk operations that plague default installations.
- Session storage (no file locking issues)
- Configuration cache (instant config loads)
- Default cache backend
- FPC tag storage
OpenSearch
OpenSearch (Elasticsearch-compatible) powers Magento's catalog search, layered navigation, and product recommendations with sub-second response times.
- Instant search suggestions
- Faceted navigation (filters)
- Handles 500k+ SKUs
- Adobe Commerce compatible
Why This Stack Matters
Default Magento installations use file-based sessions and MySQL-based search. Both become severe bottlenecks at scale. Our Redis + OpenSearch stack eliminates these limitations.
