Valkey, managed the same way Redis is.

Valkey is the community fork of Redis and speaks the same protocol. Depfloy provisions it as a cache server, configures the memory policy, and backs the dataset up on a schedule.

Version provisioned
8.1
Runs on
A server you own
Scheduled backups
Supported
Drop-in for a Redis client

Existing clients and libraries connect unchanged, which makes it a configuration change rather than a migration for most projects.

Installed from the distribution

Valkey is provisioned from the Ubuntu repositories on 24.04 and newer, so it updates with the rest of the system rather than from a separate source.

Backed up by the same runner

The backup adapter falls back to valkey-cli, so schedules, retention and restore work exactly as they do for Redis.

Valkey exists because of a licence change, and it is managed here exactly like Redis — same server role, same memory settings, same backup runner.

FAQ

Valkey questions

Why choose Valkey over Redis? +
Licensing, mostly. Valkey is BSD-licensed and community-governed; if that matters to you it is the safer default, and nothing else about the setup changes.
Can I run both on one server? +
You can, but they default to the same port. Running one per cache server keeps the configuration obvious.
Which Ubuntu versions have it? +
24.04 and newer carry Valkey in the universe repository. On older releases, use Redis.
