Valkey
in-memory cache, managed end to end
Dedicated endpoint and TLS-encrypted connection, on a VM you don't share with other clients. Compatible with your existing Redis clients: point the connection to the new host and go, no code changes.
$ valkey-cli -h cache-9c1e.vk.truo.cloud -p 26379 --tls

WHY VALKEY
MEMORY
No reads from disk
Data lives in memory for as long as the service is running, the same architecture as Redis and Valkey.
COMPATIBLE
Redis protocol
Valkey is the BSD-licensed Redis fork backed by the Linux Foundation. redis-cli, ioredis, redis-py and go-redis connect without code changes.
ENCRYPTED
TLS connection
The endpoint exposes the protocol over TLS (rediss://): traffic between your app and the cache travels encrypted.
NO MANAGED BACKUPS
Built as a cache
This first version ships without managed backups. Use it to speed up your app, not as the only place a piece of data lives.
PLANS
Memory for your workload
Four sizes, from a development environment to high traffic. The larger the plan, the cheaper the gigabyte.
- Memory assigned per service, never shared with other clients
- Endpoint with a TLS-encrypted connection (rediss://)
- Your Valkey runs on its own VM
Valkey is a cache, not primary storage. Data can be lost on a restart or if the node goes down, so your application has to be able to rebuild it. It's in beta: we sell it and charge for it, but it sits outside the availability commitment and doesn't include managed backups.
Prices in USD per month. The annual cycle is 25% cheaper, two years 30% and three years 35%.
USE CASES
Everything you already do with Redis
Same protocol, same commands, same in-memory speed.
Application cache
Query results and hot objects, without repeating the work against your database.
Sessions
User sessions shared across every instance of your application.
Queues and jobs
Lists and streams for background jobs with BullMQ, Sidekiq or Celery.
Rate limiting
Atomic counters to cap requests per user or per IP.
Pub/Sub
Real-time messaging between services and WebSocket connections.
Rankings
Sorted sets for leaderboards and lists that reorder instantly.
100% Redis protocol, open license
Valkey is the open source Redis fork, BSD-licensed and developed under the Linux Foundation. Your existing libraries and tools work unmodified.
- ●
Your existing clients just work
ioredis, redis-py, go-redis, Lettuce, StackExchange.Redis: change the connection host and go.
- ●
Exclusive resources
Your Valkey runs on its own VM, sharing no memory or CPU with other clients on the platform.
