Good point. My assumption is that the first hit would be memory usage, way before core usage.

There are many options for scaling:

- vertically scale by adding more memory

- start redis instance on another port (takes 1mb) if decided to add more cores on the same vm

- separate data into another vm

- sharding comes out of the box, but that would be my last resort
