Memorystore for Valkey 9.1: 3x QPS Caching
At Google Cloud, we are committed to delivering the best managed experience backed by open source software. Today, we’re announcing the general availability of Memorystore for Valkey 9.1, whichachieves up to 3x queries per second (QPS) at microsecond latency compared to Memorystore for Redis Cluster.
Our support for Valkey dates back to 2024, when Redis Inc. shifted its licensing away from the permissive open-source BSD license to a dual-license model. In response, Google Cloud, alongside other technology leaders, backed the creation of Valkey, an open-source alternative governed by the Linux Foundation.
Valkey has come a remarkably long way since then, delivering major performance and feature updates that push boundaries far beyond the original fork. Valkey is particularly compelling for organizations scaling AI and microservices to handle millions of concurrent users. Here, backend developers and architects must deliver both massive throughput while also maintaining microsecond latency.
