    New
    Aiven for Valkey™

What's new

The Valkey Search module is now available on Aiven for Valkey services running Valkey 9 and later. It extends Valkey with a high-performance search engine that supports vector search, full-text search, and hybrid queries over data stored in Valkey Hash and Valkey JSON.

Key features

  • Vector search: Run Approximate Nearest Neighbor (HNSW) or exact K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN) searches with low latency.
  • Hybrid search: Combine vector queries with numeric, tag, and full-text filters in a single query.
  • Flexible indexing: Create indexes over Valkey Hash and Valkey JSON data types.
  • Cluster support: Fully supported on Aiven for Valkey cluster plans.

Configuration

Valkey Search is enabled by default on all Aiven for Valkey services running Valkey 9 and later. No configuration is required, and the module cannot be disabled.

The following FT.* commands are available immediately: FT.CREATE, FT.SEARCH, FT.AGGREGATE, FT.DROPINDEX, FT.INFO, and FT._LIST.

Getting started

  • For existing services: Apply the available maintenance update to activate Valkey Search, then start creating indexes with FT.CREATE and querying them with FT.SEARCH.
  • For new services: Valkey Search is enabled automatically when you create a new Aiven for Valkey service running Valkey 9 or later.
