Elestio provides a structured approach for migrating Valkey databases from various environments, such as self-hosted servers, on-premises infrastructure, or other cloud platforms, to its managed services. This process ensures data integrity and minimizes downt...

Migrating or cloning services across cloud providers or geographic regions is a critical part of modern infrastructure management. Whether you’re optimizing for latency, preparing for disaster recovery, meeting regulatory requirements, or simply switching prov...

Manual migrations using Valkey’s native tools are ideal for users who prefer full control over data export and import, particularly during provider transitions, environment duplication, or when importing an existing self‑managed Valkey dataset into Elestio’s m...

Valkey is a high-performance fork of Redis that emphasizes open governance and continued compatibility while introducing community-driven enhancements. Setting up Valkey correctly is essential for achieving low-latency performance and ensuring durability in mo...

Upgrading a database service on Elestio can be done without creating a new instance or performing a full manual migration. Elestio provides a built-in option to change the database version directly from the dashboard. This is useful for cases where the upgrade...

Valkey supports Redis-compatible modules to extend core database functionality with custom data types, specialized algorithms, and advanced operations. These modules are compiled as shared object (.so) files and must be loaded at server startup. Examples inclu...

Regular backups are essential when running a Valkey deployment, especially if you’re using it for persistent workloads. While Elestio provides automated backups for managed services by default, you may still want to create manual backups before major configura...

Restoring Valkey backups is critical for disaster recovery, staging environment replication, or rolling back to a known good state. Elestio supports restoration via its web dashboard and manual methods using Docker Compose and command-line tools. This guide co...

Slow commands can impact Valkey performance, especially under high concurrency or when inefficient data access patterns are used. Whether you’re running Valkey on Elestio via the dashboard, inside a Docker Compose setup, or accessing it through the CLI, Valkey...

Optimizing memory usage in Valkey is essential for maintaining performance, especially in production environments like Elestio. Without proper memory control, large datasets, long-lived keys, or inefficient operations can lead to high memory pressure, slowdown...

Running out of disk space in a Valkey environment can result in failed writes, background save errors, and degraded availability. Valkey, like Redis, uses disk storage for persistence (RDB and AOF), temporary files, and logs especially when persistence is enab...

As your Valkey data grows especially when using persistence modes like RDB or AOF it’s essential to monitor how disk and memory resources are consumed. Uncontrolled growth can result in full disks, write failures, longer restarts, and issues with snapshot back...
