Valkey expertise - from Switzerland

VSHN offers consulting, architecture design, deployment, and operational support for Valkey. Whether you are evaluating Valkey for the first time or running it in production on cloudscale.ch, Exoscale, AWS, Google Cloud, or Microsoft Azure, we bring hands-on experience to accelerate your project. For managed Valkey instances, order through https://servala.com/service/valkey/ and VSHN handles operations, backups, and monitoring.

Valkey is an open-source, high-performance in-memory key-value store forked from Redis in 2024 after Redis changed to a non-open-source licence. Valkey is now a Linux Foundation project, ensuring its development remains community-driven and vendor-neutral. It is API-compatible with Redis, so existing clients, libraries, and tooling work without modification. Major cloud providers including AWS and Google Cloud are active contributors to the Valkey project.

Yes. VSHN deploys Valkey on Swiss cloud providers including cloudscale.ch and Exoscale, both of which operate data centres exclusively in Switzerland. If data residency is a compliance requirement, these providers are the recommended choice. We also support AWS (Zurich region), Google Cloud, and Microsoft Azure where Swiss regions are available.

Yes. Valkey maintains full API compatibility with Redis, meaning any Redis client library - in Python, Java, Node.js, Go, Ruby, or any other language - works with Valkey without code changes. Both RESP2 and RESP3 protocols are supported. Existing Redis Sentinel or Redis Cluster setups can typically migrate with only a connection string change. As a Linux Foundation project, Valkey's Redis compatibility is a core design commitment.

Yes. Migration from self-managed Redis, AWS ElastiCache, or other hosted Redis services is one of our core competencies. Valkey is API-compatible with Redis, so in many cases migration requires only a connection string change and data transfer. VSHN plans and executes migrations with minimal disruption, typically completing them within one to two business days depending on data size and replication topology.

Yes. VSHN provides Valkey on Kubernetes via APPUiO, our Swiss Kubernetes managed platform. This places a dedicated Valkey instance inside your cluster, reducing latency and eliminating egress costs. Provisioning happens via a Kubernetes operator - request a new instance with a single manifest and VSHN handles the rest, including updates, monitoring, and incident response.

Managed Valkey instances ordered through https://servala.com/service/valkey/ include automated daily backups using Valkey's native persistence mechanisms - RDB snapshots or AOF logs, configured to match your durability requirements. Backups are encrypted at rest and stored off-site, with storage scaled to your dataset size in GB and configurable retention policies.
