Over the past year, we’ve built a robust platform around Valkey to make hyperscale deployments fast, efficient, and easy. We’ve had the privilege of partnering with global technology leaders like Coinbase, Snap, FOX, and Capcom to help them build, deploy, and operate critical features for millions of users, powered by some of the largest Valkey clusters in the world.
Today, we’re reorganizing and reintroducing Momento’s product portfolio to better reflect how enterprises work with Momento and Valkey or Redis. In general, this represents a disaggregation of Momento Cache into distinct components with more specific roles. This repackaging better conveys how to mix and match our tech to deliver the best solution for infrastructure at scale.
For the engineer who needs the full power of Valkey
Valkey is the beating heart of the Momento platform. We offer multiple ways to use Valkey across any cloud, flexibly integrating our expertise into your architecture and operations.
Momento Valkey Image (MVI): Internally, our data nodes run a Valkey flavor optimized to handle >1M op/s on 8 ARM cores with 250 µs client-side p99 latency. We’ve also built in extras like observability and tiered SSD storage. The Momento Valkey flavor is available as a licensed container or machine image for use in self-managed clusters.
Momento Valkey Enterprise (MVE): Our managed Valkey service is the easiest way to operate Valkey in the cloud. The Momento control plane manages a multi-region fleet with thousands of instances, quietly handling upgrades, warming up nodes, monitoring capacity, and reconfiguring topologies. Managed Valkey is available both as standard SaaS and BYOC.
For the engineer who needs reliable hyperscale services
Momento pioneered the two-tier architecture for Redis / Valkey to further improve performance and reliability. We have since generalized this technology for use with any downstream service.
Momento Accelerator (MAX): The original Momento Cache incorporated our proprietary gateway router, now available on its own as Momento Accelerator (MAX). MAX delivers optimizations like connection pooling, request collapsing, response caching, throttling, compression, and more. MAX supports a variety of protocols, including Valkey HTTP/RESP, DynamoDB HTTP, and Memcached.
MAX Compute: Momento Accelerator is extensible with lightweight WASM micro-functions that execute in a secure, high-concurrency environment. Hooks include authentication, authorization, and request or response transformation. WASM functions can even be used to orchestrate requests to multiple downstream sources.
For the engineer who needs more from common data services
Momento Accelerator tightly integrates with specific underlying data services. It functions as a transparent proxy, exposing a protocol- and API-compatible endpoint. This allows you to extend existing services with new capabilities like connection pooling, caching, throttling, and compute.
MAX Valkey: The original Momento Cache service is now known as MAX Valkey, combining Momento Accelerator with Momento Valkey Enterprise. MAX Valkey makes hyperscale caching easy, with seamless scaling to millions of clients, tens of millions of op/s, and hundreds of terabytes of storage.
MAX S3: MAX S3 delivers transparent caching for S3. Formerly known as Momento Media Storage, MAX S3 ensures low-latency, cost-effective delivery of multi-MB assets, perfect for use cases such as live video origination or serving thumbnail images.
MAX DynamoDB: MAX DynamoDB is our newest offering, a transparent cache for DynamoDB. The caching layer dramatically increases the scalability of DynamoDB, especially when dealing with bursty traffic or hot keys.
Up next
Momento will continue to partner with our enterprise customers to make hyperscale infrastructure fast, efficient, and easy. We are investing heavily in streamlined BYOC deployment, as well as even tighter integration between MAX and data services like DynamoDB. We are also working with the Valkey team to open source additional tools and extensions. Stay tuned as we share more over the coming weeks!
