Today, Amazon ElastiCache announces support for Valkey 8.1, bringing the latest innovations from the Valkey open source project into ElastiCache for Valkey, including new capabilities, performance improvements, and observability enhancements. These improvements will help developers to increase an application’s responsiveness while reducing infrastructure cost for in-memory workloads.
Amazon ElastiCache version 8.1 for Valkey introduces native support for Bloom filters, a new data type allowing you to perform lookups using as much as 98% less memory compared to using the Set data type. It includes a new hash table implementation that improves throughput by up to 10% when using pipelining and reduces memory overhead to lower memory usage by as much as 20% for common key/value patterns. This new release also introduces a new COMMANDLOG feature that records large requests and replies, improving visibility of end-to-end latency and enabling you to optimize traffic patterns or troubleshoot unexpected usage spikes. For a full list of the innovations available in this latest release, see the ElastiCache documentation.
ElastiCache version 8.1 for Valkey is available today in all AWS Regions and at no additional cost. Upgrading from any previous version of Valkey or Redis OSS to Valkey 8.1 takes a few clicks with no downtime. Get started using ElastiCache for Valkey in the AWS Management Console, Software Development Kit (SDK), or Command Line Interface (CLI).
