title: How many records can you insert in a redis instance?
body: <p>I have a list of 100 million strings one on each line. The file size is 1.66 Gb.
  Each string is about 20 chars long. </p>
  
  <p>I started inserting the data into small instance and got max memory error. There were only 1million records inserted by then.</p>
  
  <pre><code>Micro
  Micro Cache Node (cache.t1.micro): 213 MB memory, Up to 2 ECU (for short periodic bursts), 64-bit platform, Low I/O Capacity
  Standard
  Small Cache Node (cache.m1.small): 1.3 GB memory, 1 ECU (1 virtual core with 1 ECU), 64-bit platform, Moderate I/O Capacity
  Medium Cache Node (cache.m1.medium): 3.35 GB memory, 2 ECU (1 virtual core with 2 ECUs), 64-bit platform, Moderate I/O Capacity
  Large Cache Node (cache.m1.large): 7.1 GB memory, 4 ECUs (2 virtual cores with 2 ECUs each), 64-bit platform, High I/O Capacity
  Extra Large Cache Node (cache.m1.xlarge): 14.6 GB of memory, 8 ECUs (4 virtual cores with 2 ECUs each), 64-bit platform, High I/O Capacity
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Will a small cache node be able to store the data or will I run out of space? How to calculate the number of records that an instance can handle? </p>
