OpenEverest for Valkey

Run Valkey, the open-source, Redis-compatible in-memory data store, on any Kubernetes cluster. Provision replicated or sharded clusters, scale shards and replicas, and secure every connection through a single UI and API, powered by the Valkey Kubernetes Operator.

Key capabilities

Redis-Compatible

Valkey speaks the Redis protocol, so existing Redis clients, libraries, and tools connect without code changes — an open-source drop-in alternative to Redis.

Replication or Sharding

Run a single primary with read replicas, or partition data across shards in Valkey Cluster mode — and scale shards and replicas as traffic grows.

Flexible Sizing

Tune CPU, memory, and persistent storage per node, and start from presets for caching, session stores, or larger production workloads.

Backups & Restore

On-demand and scheduled snapshots to S3-compatible storage, with restore into new or existing clusters.

TLS & Authentication

TLS on by default with automatically issued certificates, and a password-protected default user stored as a Kubernetes Secret.

Monitoring

Enable a Prometheus exporter sidecar straight from the provisioning flow to track memory, hit rates, and latency.

Advanced Configuration

Pass through Valkey settings such as maxmemory-policy, pick the version, and upgrade in place without touching kubectl.

Powered by

valkey-io/valkey-operator

Valkey clusters on OpenEverest are powered by the open-source Valkey Kubernetes Operator, which handles deployment, scaling, failover, rolling upgrades, TLS, and access control on Kubernetes.

Frequently asked questions

Is Valkey free to run on OpenEverest?
Yes. Both Valkey and OpenEverest are open-source with no licensing fees, and OpenEverest runs Valkey on your own Kubernetes cluster, in the cloud or on-premises.
What is Valkey, and how does it relate to Redis?
Valkey is an open-source, high-performance key-value data store backed by the Linux Foundation. It was forked from Redis 7.2.4 and remains compatible with the Redis protocol, data types, and commands.
Can I use Valkey as a Redis replacement?
Yes. Applications built for Redis connect to Valkey with the same clients and libraries, so OpenEverest gives you a self-hosted, open-source alternative to Redis for caching, session storage, queues, and other key-value workloads.
How does OpenEverest run Valkey under the hood?
The provider-valkey provider translates an OpenEverest Instance into resources for the open-source Valkey Kubernetes Operator, which provisions and manages Valkey on Kubernetes.
Does OpenEverest support high availability and sharding for Valkey?
Yes. Choose the replication topology for a primary with read replicas, or the cluster topology to shard data across multiple primaries, each with its own replicas.
Which Valkey versions are supported?
OpenEverest tracks the Valkey versions supported by the provider, currently Valkey 9.0 and 8.1. See the provider repository for the current version matrix.
