Cost Optimization

You can identify resources with high costs based on the analysis results in the cost center, determine the causes of high costs, and take optimization measures accordingly.

Resource rightsizing

View GeminiDB Redis monitoring metrics on Cloud Eye, such as the CPU, memory, and disk usage. If the current configuration is too high, you can reduce the configuration by changing specifications.
Monitor idle GeminiDB Redis resources and delete idle instances in a timely manner.
If your services require high performance stability, purchase a general-purpose instance to reduce your costs. For example, in the same specifications (4 vCPUs and 24 GB memory), the cost of a general-purpose instance is 30% lower than that of a dedicated instance.

Billing mode selection

Different types of services have different requirements on resource usage periods, so the most economical billing mode for one resource may not be the best option for another resource.

For mature services that tend to be stable for the long term, select yearly/monthly billing.
For short-term, unpredictable services that experience traffic bursts and cannot afford to be interrupted, select pay-per-use billing.
Monitor the lifecycle of instances and renew yearly/monthly resources that are about to expire in a timely manner.
