On December 3rd, all Node.js production environments, with the optional Redis add-on enabled, will switch to Valkey as their in-memory data store. Valkey offers improved throughput performance, memory efficiency, and scalability.
Non-production environments have already transitioned from Redis to Valkey, and the change should not require action from WordPress VIP customers.
What can I expect?
Node.js applications switched to Valkey will benefit from improved performance and efficiency with no disruption to service. The transition has been tested across all applicable non-production Node.js environments on the WordPress VIP platform, ensuring a smooth update for production applications.
