Valkey

Valkey

Valkey is an open-source, Redis-compatible key/value datastore optimized for caching, queues, and other real-time workloads, with clustering, replication, and extensibility.

Valkey is a high-performance data structure server and distributed key/value datastore designed for low-latency, real-time workloads such as caching and message queues. It is a fork of Redis OSS created before Redis’ license change, and aims to remain permissively licensed and community governed.

Key Features

  • Rich native data structures such as strings, hashes, lists, sets, sorted sets, bitmaps, and HyperLogLogs
  • Replication and high availability options, including Sentinel-style monitoring and failover
  • Cluster mode for horizontal scaling and sharding
  • Extensibility via modules (plugins) to add new commands, data types, and access patterns
  • Built-in Lua scripting for server-side logic and atomic workflows
  • Optional TLS support for encrypted client and inter-node communication

Use Cases

  • Application caching and session storage with low latency
  • Real-time counters, leaderboards, rate limiting, and ephemeral state
  • Queueing and lightweight messaging patterns for background work

Limitations and Considerations

  • Primarily memory-focused workloads; persistence and durability characteristics depend on configuration choices
  • Some advanced features (for example RDMA support) may be experimental and platform-limited

Valkey is a strong fit when you need Redis-style commands and data structures with modern operational options like clustering and encryption. It can serve as a drop-in compatible datastore for many Redis OSS deployments while supporting a broad range of real-time patterns.

Redis Commander

Redis Commander

A Node.js web UI to view, edit and manage Redis data across standalone, Sentinel and Cluster setups with CLI, tree view and Docker deployment.

Redis Commander is a lightweight Node.js web application that provides a browser-based interface for inspecting and managing Redis instances. It exposes key browsing, inline editing, a built-in CLI and supports multiple connection methods and deployment options.

Key Features

  • Browser-based tree view of Redis keys with expandable namespaces and key-type awareness
  • Inline editing and CRUD operations for common Redis data types: strings, lists, sets, sorted sets
  • Built-in Redis command-line interface in the browser with tab completion for commands and keys
  • Support for multiple connection modes: standalone, Sentinel and Redis Cluster
  • TLS options and certificate/key configuration for secure Redis and Sentinel connections
  • Basic support for Streams (view/add/delete operations) and limited ReJSON document viewing
  • Configuration via files, environment variables or CLI parameters; supports node-config semantics
  • Official container image and Docker Compose examples; Kubernetes/Helm deployment examples included

Use Cases

  • Quick debugging and exploration of Redis data for developers and operators
  • Managing multiple Redis instances (local, staging, production) from a single UI
  • Inspecting data structures and running ad-hoc Redis commands during development and troubleshooting

Limitations and Considerations

  • Streams and ReJSON support are described as basic in upstream documentation; ReJSON is primarily view-only and Streams functionality is limited to simple view/add/delete operations
  • Certain advanced Redis modules/features are not fully surfaced in the UI; administrators may still need direct CLI or module-specific tools for complex tasks

Redis Commander provides a compact, deployable web UI for everyday Redis management tasks, with flexible configuration and container-friendly packaging. It is geared toward developers and operators who need fast, visual access to Redis data without installing a heavy desktop client.
