Hey I'm just sharing the good word here :) To each their own.
@philmckrackon what made me think of this is I noticed you're on a quite old version of Redis, so you're presumably on an old RHEL-based distro perhaps? I'm an AlmaLinux and Fedora dev and in both we're forcibly retiring Redis and...
Valkey works with XF as well, been using it for months. It is a 100% compatible drop in replacement. Mass adoption is happening......now. People are dropping Redis left and right. The XF community seems unaware of what's taking place so I'm just making it known :)
Because Redis is no longer open source.

If you're on Fedora: dnf install valkey
If you're on a RHEL-based distro like AlmaLinux: dnf install epel-release then dnf install valkey
If you want the redis-compat package so that symlinks are put in place for service names and...
Redis is no longer open source. You should move to Valkey which is the continuance of open source Redis with most of the original devs. They've already released version 8 with some nice speed and efficiency improvements too. Fully compatible with Redis.
Rocky is owned by a single person whereas AlmaLinux is owned by a non-profit with a community-elected board. Now tell me which one is more open...
CloudLinux is just a financial sponsor, as are many others. CloudLinux has no direct control over AlmaLinux or its direction.
Yeah that's probably not going to work very well unless you turn a whole bunch of things way down. You need to turn down a bunch of MySQL buffers and likely PHP-FPM (assuming it's what you're using) as well.
Basically, get more RAM.
