The Challenge

As the caching demands increased, the existing Redis setup introduced challenges due to high licensing costs, limited flexibility in upgrading the engine, and the constant need for fine-tuning to keep pace with evolving application workloads. These constraints not only drove up operational overhead but also limited the team’s ability to scale efficiently and adapt to changing performance requirements.

Solutions

• Conducted compatibility assessment and benchmark testing between Redis and Valkey.
• Established a Valkey cluster from an ElastiCache Redis snapshot, maintaining data integrity while reducing migration complexity.
• Designed a migration plan with zero downtime using replication and DNS switch-over.
• Updated application connection configurations and performed thorough load testing before cutover.
• Enabled continuous observability and monitoring by integrating Valkey metrics with Amazon CloudWatch for alerting and performance tracking.

The Results

Achieved 20% cache latency improvement (3.5ms to 2.8ms), 30% cost reduction, and zero-downtime migration.
