Pagination Strategy for Large Datasets Implementing pagination for large datasets in Redis often involves a choice between rank-based indexing using ZRANGE and cursor-based iteration via ZSCAN . While ZRANGE allows for precise offset-based bounding, the underlying skip list traversal can lead to increased latency as the offset grows deeper into the set. Conv
