Valkey, the Redis fork launched more than two years ago, has continued to expand with higher throughput and better cluster functionality. The project also outlined upcoming work on synchronous replication and tiered storage, while emphasizing automation for security and faster releases.
- 7The New Stack·10/8/2026open_sourcePercona builds open source proxy to ease Valkey migrations
Percona has introduced Valkey-proxy, an open source proxy designed to let existing Redis-style applications connect to Valkey Cluster without code changes. The project aims to remove one of the biggest migration barriers for organizations that want a permissively licensed, self-managed alternative to Redis.
- 4InfoQ·8/6/2026open_sourceValkey Architecture Patterns for Microsecond-Latency AI Data Layers
Dumanshu Goyal describes how to optimize data layers for low-latency workloads such as AI feature stores. He argues that direct-access Valkey architectures can reduce hidden CPU overhead, tail latency, and blast-radius risk compared with proxy-based designs, while also cutting infrastructure costs.
- 7InfoQ·7/20/2026product_launchDoorDash Builds 1.5M RPS Proxy Cache with Envoy and Valkey
DoorDash developed Entity Cache, a transparent proxy caching platform designed to cut redundant service-to-service traffic in its microservices environment. Built on Envoy and Valkey, it operates inside the company’s service mesh and is reported to handle more than 1.5 million requests per second with very high availability.
