Valkey is an optional, backend cache solution that replaces the Zend Framework Zend_Cache_Backend_File, which Adobe Commerce uses by default.

See Configure Valkey in the Configuration guide.

Use the following instructions for service setup on Pro Integration environments and Starter environments, including the master branch.

NOTE

Submit an Adobe Commerce Support ticket to change the service configuration on Pro Production and Staging environments.

To enable Valkey:

Add the required name and type to the .magento/services.yaml file.
cache: type: valkey:<version>
To provide your own Valkey configuration, add a core_config key in your .magento/services.yaml file:
cache: type: valkey:8.0
Configure the relationships in the .magento.app.yaml file.
relationships: valkey: "cache:valkey"

Add, commit, and push your code changes.

git add .magento/services.yaml .magento.app.yaml && git commit -m "Enable valkey service" && git push origin <branch-name>

Verify the service relationships.

TIP

After initial service setup, you can change the software version for an installed service by updating the services.yaml and .magento.app.yaml configuration files. See Change service version for guidance on upgrading or downgrading a service.

Using the Valkey CLI

Assuming your Valkey relationship is named valkey, you can access it using the valkey-cli tool.

Use SSH to connect to the integration environment with Valkey installed and configured.
Open an SSH tunnel to a host.
valkey-cli -h valkey.internal

Get installed Valkey version

Use the following command to get the Valkey version installed on an integration environment:

valkey-cli -h valkey.internal info | grep version

Response:

valkey_version:8.0.1
gcc_version:12.2.0

Valkey on Pro staging and production

To get the Valkey version installed on a Staging or Production environment, use the valkey-server command:

valkey-server -v

Valkey server v=8.0.1 ...

Use the following command to get the Valkey configuration installed on a Pro Staging or Production environment:

echo $MAGENTO_CLOUD_RELATIONSHIPS | base64 -d | json_pp
