Frequently Asked Questions

What is Percona for Valkey?

Percona for Valkey provides secure, validated open source software and expert support, helping you run Valkey with confidence and optimal performance.

How does Percona help with migrating from Redis to Valkey?

Percona offers a seamless Redis migration experience, with tailored assessments, actionable insights, and expert guidance throughout the process.

What makes Percona’s Valkey packages different from “vanilla” Valkey?

Percona’s Valkey packages include the same features as standard Valkey but are pre-built for Linux, rigorously validated, and security-scanned to ensure a reliable, trusted distribution.

What types of support does Percona offer for Valkey?

Percona provides 24×7 on-demand support, project-based consulting, and performance optimization services, designed to meet the needs of any Valkey deployment.

Is Percona for Valkey fully open source?

Yes, Percona for Valkey is fully open source, with no lock-ins or hidden upsells, aligning with Percona’s commitment to open source freedom.

How can Percona help optimize Valkey performance?

Percona’s support services are designed to keep your Valkey environment running smoothly with scalable, no-surprise performance optimization and expert guidance for high availability and low latency.

What is the difference between Valkey and Redis?

The primary difference comes from a recent Redis license change. Newer versions of Redis use a restrictive source-available license, while Valkey was created as a community-driven, open source alternative under the Linux Foundation. Valkey remains under the open source BSD license. From a technical standpoint, Valkey is actively being developed to improve performance with features like enhanced multi-threading and better memory management.

Is Valkey a drop-in replacement for Redis?

Yes, in most situations, Valkey serves as a drop-in replacement for Redis. It was created from Redis version 7.2.4 and maintains full compatibility with its API and protocols. This means that existing applications and clients can typically switch to a Valkey server with minimal or no code changes.

How does Percona support a Redis to Valkey migration?

Percona provides a complete set of migration services. We start by assessing your current Redis environment to check for migration readiness. From there, we create a custom plan and offer hands-on guidance from our experts to ensure a smooth transition from Redis to Valkey with as little downtime as possible.

What is included in Percona's Valkey support?

Percona’s Valkey support gives you 24/7 access to our team of experts. Our services cover everything from proactive performance tuning and high availability design to security guidance, configuration best practices, and troubleshooting. We offer flexible plans designed to meet your specific needs.

Why should I choose Percona for Redis support over other providers?

Choosing Percona means you are partnering with an unbiased expert dedicated to open source principles. We help you run enterprise-level Redis deployments successfully without vendor lock-in. Our deep expertise enables us to optimize Redis performance, ensure stability, and guide you through the database landscape, whether you choose to stay with Redis or explore alternatives like Valkey.

How does Valkey’s multi-threading improve performance compared to Redis?

 Valkey introduces true multi-threaded I/O handling, which significantly boosts throughput on multi-core systems. While Redis remains primarily single-threaded for most operations, Valkey can handle more concurrent connections and requests in parallel—resulting in lower latency and better CPU utilization for high-throughput workloads.

Does Valkey have a different memory footprint than Redis?

Valkey is based on Redis 7.2.4 and remains compatible in terms of memory usage, but ongoing community optimizations have led to better memory efficiency in certain workloads. Its enhanced I/O model reduces blocking and improves resource utilization without increasing baseline memory requirements.
