What Is Valkey Cache?
Valkey Cache is a managed in-memory key-value store, compatible with Redis. Use it to cache database results, store sessions, rate-limit requests or share short-lived data between servers. Any Redis client library works with it.
What you get
| Feature | Details |
|---|---|
| Dedicated cache | Your own cache with its own IP address, memory size and password. |
| Private by default | Only IP addresses you allow can connect; everything else is blocked. |
| Fast eviction | When the cache is full, the least recently used keys are removed to make room. |
| Live view | Memory use and status in Valkey Cache in your control panel. |
A cache, not a database
- Data is not kept across a restart. Store anything you cannot rebuild somewhere permanent, and let the cache refill.
- When memory is full, old keys are removed automatically, so writes keep working.
