When will my Valkey or Redis cache run out of memory? Sizing it with the Cache Size Simulator

used_memory tells you where you are, not where you're going. The Cache Size Simulator samples what your keys actually weigh, projects growth and TTLs forward, tells you when you hit maxmemory and what your eviction policy will do about it, and picks the smallest ElastiCache, MemoryDB, Memorystore or Azure node that still fits in six months. Works on Valkey, Redis OSS and other RESP-compatible databases.

How Slow DNS Puts Valkey Sentinel Into TILT

A team running BetterDB reported a Valkey Sentinel deployment that kept logging +tilt and flagging +sdown on healthy nodes, with raw IPs and plaintext as the only known workaround. This is the reproduction and the isolation matrix: a blocking getaddrinfo on Sentinel's single-threaded loop is the cause, TLS is not, and an FQDN in announce-ip stalls the peer Sentinels rather than the one that announced it. Verified on Valkey 8.1.8 and 9.0.6.
