Aiven for Caching

The Linux Foundation launched Valkey™ last year, an open-source Redis® with total compatibility and portability from open-source Redis® fork, released under the three-clause BSD license. Aiven is proud to be an early supporter of the project and to provide it on its platform.

Aiven for Valkey™ offers the following benefits:

• Fully compatible with Redis® version 7.2 and below
• Open source and permissively licensed, not locking you in with any vendors
• Actively developed and supported by The Linux Foundation, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud, Oracle and Aiven!
• Innovative and cutting-edge capabilities being added and roadmapped to Valkey™ such as Vector Search, multi threading in the near term, and clustering and sharding in the medium term

As highlighted in this post earlier this year, Aiven for Caching is entering its end-of-life cycle to comply with Redis® 's copyright and license agreements.

Key Dates:

• February 15th, 2025 - End of Availability: it will not be possible to start a new Aiven for Caching service, but existing services up until version 7.2 will still be available until end of life
