[H2] Principles of Unshittification

[H3] Open Wins

Software should not close over time. We keep databases open source, portable, and free of proprietary licensing so you avoid lock-in, hidden costs, and loss of control.

[H3] Run Free

Deploy across on-prem, hybrid, or multi-cloud with consistent tooling and observability. Move when cost, compliance, or performance demands it.

[H3] Honest Guidance

Work directly with engineers who support your whole stack, across MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, and Valkey/Redis, on-prem, cloud, or Kubernetes. We advise you on what works best, then help you execute.

[H3] Give Back

We actively build in the open, contributing code, tooling, and improvements across MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, and Valkey so communities and users benefit together.

Performance and savings
[H2] SEE WHAT VALKEY CAN DO FOR YOUR INFRASTRUCTURE
Valkey's multi-threaded I/O model handles more concurrent connections on multi-core hardware, which means lower latency and better CPU use for high-throughput workloads. Curious what that looks like for your environment? The Percona Valkey/Redis calculator models throughput, sizing, and cost so you can plan with real numbers instead of guesswork.

Open source, community-governed
[H2] NO LICENSE SHIFTS. NO SURPRISES.
Valkey is BSD-3 licensed and governed by the Linux Foundation. That means the license won't change on you, and no single vendor controls the roadmap.

Featured Resource
[H2] What is Valkey, and how does it differ from Redis?
Valkey is an open source key-value store forked from Redis 7.2. It has since been improved to offer increased performance, better reliability, and higher efficiency, with a focus on open source transparency, flexibility, and vendor neutrality.

[H4]
What is Valkey?

Valkey is a community-governed, open source in-memory data store. It was forked from Redis 7.2.4 after Redis changed its license, and it's maintained under the Linux Foundation with a BSD-3-Clause license. It's wire-compatible with Redis, so existing clients and applications work without code changes.

[H4]
What are Percona Packages for Valkey?

Percona Packages for Valkey are pre-built, validated, and security-scanned distributions of Valkey for Linux. They include the same features as standard Valkey, plus enterprise additions like LDAP authentication and ACL support. They're designed for teams that want a reliable, production-ready Valkey package without building from source.

[H4]
Is Valkey a drop-in replacement for Redis?

In most cases, yes. Valkey was forked from Redis 7.2.4 and maintains full API and protocol compatibility. Existing applications and client libraries typically work with a Valkey server with minimal or no code changes. Percona can assess your specific environment for compatibility before you make the switch.

[H4]
How is Valkey's performance different from Redis?

Valkey introduces true multi-threaded I/O handling, which improves throughput on multi-core systems. It handles more concurrent connections in parallel, resulting in lower latency and better CPU use for high-throughput workloads. Memory efficiency has also been improved through ongoing community work.

[H4]
Does Percona offer support and services for Redis too?

Yes. Percona provides 24x7 expert support for Redis, including performance tuning, troubleshooting, and operational guidance. Whether you run Redis, Valkey, or both, Percona's team can help.

[H2]
Far Enough.
