> A single beefy Redis (many cores, lots of RAM type of machine) should be able to handle the load

I thought Redis was single threaded running on a single core.

Having multiple cores provides no benefit (and arguably could hurt since large multicore systems typically have a lower clock)




Redis itself, yes. However there are Redis compatible tools that go beyond single core - KeyDB, DragonFly and ARDB overcome some limitations.
