Redis Client Connection

Redis receives connections from clients by listening on a TCP port or a Unix socket. Once a connection is established, Redis performs the following operations internally:


Maximum Number of Connections

In Redis 2.4, the maximum number of connections was hardcoded in the code, but in version 2.6, this value became configurable.

The default value for maxclients is 10000, and you can modify this value in redis.conf.

config get maxclients

1) "maxclients"
2) "10000"

Example

The following example sets the maximum number of connections to 100000 when the server starts:

redis-server --maxclients 100000
