Amazon MemoryDB for Valkey adds new CloudWatch metrics to monitor server-side response time

Amazon MemoryDB for Valkey now supports server-side write request latency and read request latency metrics. With this launch, you can now measure the server-side response time for Valkey commands and troubleshoot latency spikes in your MemoryDB cluster.

Monitoring latency is critical to improving end user experience by tracking application trends and adjusting cluster configurations, as needed. Server-side latency metrics provides a complete picture of the server-side response time that includes command pre-processing, command execution, and command post-processing. SuccessfulWriteRequestLatency and SuccessfulReadRequestLatency measure the time that the MemoryDB for Valkey engine takes to respond to a successfully executed request.

MemoryDB for Valkey server-side latency metrics are now available in all AWS regions where MemoryDB is generally available. To get started, create a new cluster using the AWS Management Console, CLI, or SDKs using Valkey version 7.2.
