Aiven for Valkey™ 9.1 is here

We’ve added support for Valkey 9.1, a release focused on new features and improvements for security, observability, performance, efficiency, and tooling.

Key highlights

• Security: database-level ACLs, Lua moved to a module, TLS improvements
• Observability: main/IO thread usage metrics, JSON logging
• Performance: new IO threading model, faster streams/sorted sets/GETs
• Efficiency: reduced memory for strings and sorted sets, faster rehashing
• New commands: HGETDEL, MSETEX, CLUSTERSCAN

Default version

Valkey 9.1 is now the default version for all new Aiven for Valkey services. Your currently running services on version 8.1 remain unaffected and will continue to operate normally.
