Having Redis and Meilisearch on a EC2 instance

Question

I am using an EC2 instance for my meilisearch and i am wondering if i could install redis on the same EC2 instance.

How do you manage to deploy a redis instance and a search instance, do you do as multiple instances or have only one instance ?

There's nothing stopping you from installing all the software you want on a single EC2 instance. You would only need to make sure your server has enough CPU and RAM resources available to run both services.

This part of your question is too broad. Are you trying to minimize costs? Maximize throughput? Is this for testing, or a live production environment? Will you need fault-tolerance and automatic disaster recovery?

There is no single "best" or "correct" answer to how you run these services, it all depends on your specific needs.
