Strategic to manage persistency backups on docker

Redis administration
1

Hi
I am working today with the AOF file via docker volume. each time the server starts it reads the AOF. it comes to a point that I need to wait 10 minutes and more to load the entire graph (using redisgraph).

I want to continue using append-only for durable and high integrity backups, but still when the server loads to load from rdb file since it much faster as far as I read.

Since I have appendonly yes, it will always load from it.
How can I work hybrid?

  1. write snapshots to rdb every minute.
  2. use AOF for backup
  3. load from a snapshot
    Thanks

You may choose to write a cron job to do it.

Append Only File (AOF) Snapshot (RDB)
More resource intensive Less resource intensive
Provides better durability (recover the latest point in time) Less durable
Slower time to recover (Larger files) Faster recovery time
More disk space required (files tend to grow large and require compaction) Requires less resource (I/O once every several hours and no compaction required)

Hi @avi, I assume you have issues with redis slowly loading the AOF file. Please correct me if I am wrong.

AOF is generally slow to read since it’s an append-only backup, whereas RDB will be fast to startup, and slow to write. Since your use case seems to be needing an instant-redis startup, I would recommend going to using replication instead (slaveof/replica), so that you can always have a ready instance and you can have multiple replicas.
