Amazon ElastiCache now supports Valkey 9.1, bringing the latest community-driven innovations from the Valkey open source project to customers running latency-sensitive, high-throughput, and operationally demanding in-memory workloads on ElastiCache. In this post, we discuss how Valkey 9.1 helps you get more throughput and memory efficiency from demanding workloads while providing stronger isolation for multi-tenant and shared-cluster deployments. We also cover new commands that simplify common application and operational workflows, new observability features that give operators better visibility into engine behavior, and how ElastiCache continues to deliver the latest Valkey open source innovations in a fully managed service.

Amazon ElastiCache now supports Valkey 9.0. This brings the latest community-driven innovations from the Valkey open source project to address the performance and capability requirements of applications as they grow more data-intensive and latency-sensitive, such as real-time analytics, AI-driven retrieval, and high-throughput caching. In this post, we explore how these enhancements help customers build faster applications, streamline architectures, and support new real-time and AI-driven workloads.

Two years ago, Valkey emerged as a community-driven response to the need for a truly open, vendor-neutral alternative to Redis. In this post, we’ll look back at two years of progress, highlighting the rapid adoption of Valkey, the innovations delivered by the community, and what these developments mean for the future of modern caching and […]

In April 2024, AWS announced support for Valkey, a community-driven fork of Redis born out of a shared belief that critical infrastructure software should be vendor neutral and open source. In this post, we share how, just over a year in, we remain fully committed to the Valkey project and announce support for the latest version with Amazon ElastiCache version 8.1 for Valkey. We explore the benefits of Valkey through real-world examples the benefits of the latest innovations, including a new hash table with additional memory efficiencies, support for Bloom filters, observability enhancements, and new functionality.
