Save cache to a different database

Hello, is there any performance improvement in changing the cache database? Which database would be best for saving the cache?
I need help with this issue, as I need performance for the new customer.

Hi @EvandroSantos
This would likely only be milliseconds in difference. Cache is currently handled in the Metabase application database, so as long as there’s low latency and the database server has enough resources, then it should be fast enough that no-one would notice a difference.
Metabase does currently not support other cache backends (like Redis), but there’s a request open:
