One of Valkey’s greatest strengths has always been its built-in ability to expire keys. This simple but powerful feature helps developers keep datasets fresh, automatically clear caches, and enforce session lifetimes — all without extra application logic. But until now, expiration worked only at the level of entire keys. In this post, we’ll explore how Valkey 9.0 introduces per-field expiration for hash objects, the challenges we faced designing it, the tradeoffs we considered, and the benchmarks that guided our final implementation. We’ll also walk through practical examples to show how you can start using this feature today.
Read MoreValkey 9.0 brings new namespacing abilities to cluster mode. In this blog you'll learn about numbered databases, how they've changed in the recent release, limitations, and how you can use them to efficiently solve a variety of otherwise challenging problems.
Read MoreValkey can run as either a standalone daemon or in a cluster, with options for replication and high availability. Valkey natively supports a rich collection of datatypes, including strings, numbers, hashes, lists, sets, sorted sets, bitmaps, hyperloglogs and more. You can operate on data structures in-place with an expressive collection of commands. Valkey also supports native extensibility with built-in scripting support for Lua and supports module plugins to create new commands, data types, and more.
Step-by-step instructions on how to install and configure Valkey for first-time users.
