Memorystore for Valkey documentation
Memorystore for Valkey is a fully managed Valkey Cluster service for Google Cloud. Applications running
on Google Cloud can achieve extreme performance by leveraging the highly scalable, available,
secure Valkey service without the burden of managing complex Valkey deployments.
Memorystore for Valkey distributes (or "shards") your data across primary nodes and
replicates your data across optional replica nodes to ensure high availability. The horizontally
scalable architecture provides better performance over vertically scalable architecture
because Valkey performance is better on many smaller nodes instead of fewer larger nodes.
