Enhancing Redis Slow Log

What's this blog post about?

The Redis Slow Log is a valuable tool for debugging and tracing Redis databases, particularly when experiencing high latency or CPU usage with Redis operations. It is more efficient than slow log mechanisms of multi-threaded database systems like MySQL Slow Query Log due to its single-threaded architecture. However, users often struggle to understand the differences between two execution times of the same Redis command shown in the Slow Log. To address this issue, an enhancement has been proposed for the Enhanced Redis Slow Log, which includes time complexity parameters for each command stored in the Slow Log. This enhancement is expected to improve users' understanding of their Redis DB operations and help identify latency issues related to complex queries. The complexity information can be found in a table that outlines the time complexity for various Redis commands.
