    Aiven for Valkey™

What's new

The Valkey Search module is now available for all Aiven for Valkey services. 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. 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.
