With the winter months winding down, it's a fitting time to introduce the general availability of Spring Data Valkey, a new open source Spring Data module that provides first-class integration between Valkey and the Spring ecosystem. Valkey adoption has expanded rapidly across cloud providers, Linux distributions, and enterprise environments. As organizations standardize on Valkey for caching, s [...]
Valkey is protocol-compatible with Redis and supports the full Redis 7.2.4 command API. That's one of its greatest strengths - existing clients are largely compatible, the learning curve is not steep. It's also, quietly, a problem for tooling.
Because compatibility means every tool built before Valkey existed technically "works" with it - tools that haven't been updated to take advantage [...]
The AWS Advanced JDBC Wrapper now supports automatically caching JDBC queries with Valkey, including Amazon ElastiCache for Valkey caches. Previously, developers who needed to cache JDBC query result sets had to manually write code to store and retrieve data from the cache for each query. Now you can automatically cache result sets from your Aurora and RDS PostgreSQL, MySQL, and MariaDB database [...]
We are introducing multi-version support for Aiven for Valkey™. You can now choose between the two latest upstream Valkey versions when creating or upgrading your services. This flexibility is available for both standalone and clustered modes, allowing you to test new features or maintain environment stability on your own schedule.
For more details and upgrade instructions, see our documen [...]
We’ve added support for Valkey 9.0, a major release focused on high-scale performance and more granular data control. This version is particularly beneficial for users running large-scale clusters or complex data structures.

Valkey Search now lets you search across text, tag, numeric, and vector attributes in a single query, and analyze results with server-side aggregations at the low latency you expect from Valkey. Valkey Search enables searching terabytes of data with latency as low as microseconds, providing a flexible foundation for querying across a range of use cases, from powering in-app search experiences to [...]
Do you ever wonder why we still manage Valkey the same way we always have? The honest answer is that it works. And once something works, it tends to stick around.
You spin up a Valkey cluster. Maybe it's three nodes. Maybe it's thirty. You need to inspect a key, so you open a terminal, start valkey-cli, connect, run a command, read the output, then do it again. If you need to

Engineers operating large-scale systems face a consistent challenge: what works at moderate scale often breaks in subtle ways as systems grow. Recently, contributors and platform teams gathered at the Unlocked Conference to compare notes on what actually happens when Valkey is under real production load.
What follows are high-level observations from the day — directional insights that kep [...]
This release improves PrivateLink management with enhanced GCP PrivateLink connection approval through the new psc_connection_id field in aiven_gcp_privatelink_connection_approval. It lets you select specific connections when multiple PSC connections exist for the same service. Additionally, privatelink_connection_id support has been added across all servic

As we kick off 2026, it’s a great moment to pause, reflect, and celebrate what the Valkey project and its community has accomplished together. This past year marked an important chapter for Valkey, one defined by growth, collaboration, and a shared commitment to building an open, high-performance key-value store for everyone.
2025 Key MilestonesThis past year brought meaningful progress [...]
This release introduces significant updates including Kubernetes v0.28 support. The operator now requires Go 1.20+.
A major change in this version is the complete removal of the Redis kind and controller from the operator, as Redis has reached end of life. Use Valkey instead for all caching services.
Key enhancements in this release include:
Tail latencies are where promises break. You can have a system that's fast 99% of the time, but that 1% is what users remember.

[...]Last year, Bitnami changed how it publishes and supports many container images and Helm charts (see charts issue #35164, charts issue #36215, and the Bitnami Secure Images announcement). Some images move behind new terms, and older tags may not be available as before.
If your pipelines pull Bitnami charts or images during deploys, you may experience significant operational issues: rollout [...]
What's new
The Valkey™ JSON module is now available for all Aiven for Valkey™ services. This module extends Valkey features with advanced JSON data handling capabilities.
Key features
Most of the production security incidents I've helped debug started with misconfigurations rather than zero-days or sophisticated exploits.
Security misconfiguration ranks as A05 in the OWASP Top 10:2021, with 90% of applications tested showing some form of misconfiguration. That's staggering. And when it comes to infrastructure like Valkey, the stakes are even higher - your cache often s [...]
This version of the Aiven Terraform Provider adds write-only password support to service user resources, including aiven_kafka_user, aiven_mysql_user, aiven_opensearch_user, aiven_pg_user, and aiven_valkey_user. You can now manage passwords for these service users securely without storing them in your state file by using the new
We are excited to announce the launch of Aiven for Valkey™ clustering in limited availability. This managed solution provides scalable, distributed in-memory data storage with built-in high availability.
Aiven for Valkey clustering automatically partitions your data across multiple nodes (shards), enabling you to handle larger datasets and higher traffic loads than a single-node deployment [...]
