Valkey Enterprise Image

The world's fastest cache, deployed in your cloud

Ship the same Valkey container that powers Momento's cloud services with meticulous performance tuning and modules that add powerful new capabilities.

  1. Build on a stable foundation

    Deploy proven infrastructure that powers mission-critical features for millions of users around the world.

  2. Industry-leading performance

    Networking, processes, and storage have been carefully tuned to deliver 150K+ op/s per ARM core at p99 latency of 250us.

  3. Take full control of your cache

    Run Valkey directly in your own environment, with complete control over data, performance, and security.

Core Features

  1. Optimized for raw performance

    Networking, processes, and storage have been carefully tuned by Momento engineers to deliver 150K+ op/s per ARM core with p99 latency of 250us.

  2. Embed best practices

    Enforce Valkey-specific operational standards like always-on TLS, item-size limits, or memory policies by baking them directly into the image. Every node automatically inherits safe, efficient standards.

  3. Ship securely and confidently

    Momento coordinates with Valkey maintainers to deliver continuous builds of the Valkey Enterprise Image that reflect the latest security patches for day-0 CVEs.

Add Powerful Capabilities

  1. Data Tiering Module

    Reduce cost per GB up to 80% by expanding storage to local NVMe or remote sinks like S3Express and Postgres. Zero-copy disk-to-network paths keep overhead negligible.

  2. Observability Module

    Emit the same suite of OTel metrics that Momento uses to monitor clusters. Gain deep visibility into queue depths, eviction rates, replication lag, and dozens of other signals that help identify issues long before they become outages.

  3. Enhanced Security Package

    Lock down the Enterprise Image by enforcing secure Valkey and OS runtime behaviors. High-risk features like Lua scripting are compiled out to eliminate entire attack surfaces.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which Valkey versions does the image support?

The Momento Valkey Enterprise Image tracks current stable Valkey releases and applies CVE patches on an accelerated cadence. Specific version availability and support windows are listed in the documentation.

How does the Data Tiering Module decide what to keep in RAM vs. on disk?

The module uses a configurable eviction policy in memory, while asynchronously persisting all written data to NVMe or remote sinks. Hot data stays in RAM; cold data is transparently moved to the cheaper tier. Applications use the standard Valkey API throughout, the tiering is invisible to clients.

What OTel backends does the Observability Module support?

The module emits standard OpenTelemetry metrics, making it compatible with any OTel-capable backend, including Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, Honeycomb, and others. No vendor-specific instrumentation is required.

Does removing Lua scripting break compatibility with existing clients?

Any client that uses EVAL, EVALSHA, or related commands will need to migrate those workloads to server-side functions or application-level logic before adopting the Enhanced Security Package. The documentation includes a migration guide.

Can add-ons be combined?

Yes. All three add-ons are independently licensed and can be combined in any configuration. Each is billed separately at its listed rate on top of the base image price.
