Convert Redis to Valkey
Copy your Redis keyspace into Valkey, then compare key counts before pointing your application at the new target.
Choose a source databaseHow it works
01
Review the pre-check
Open your source database in Layerbase Cloud and choose Convert. Read the compatibility notes before creating the target.
02
Create a new target
Choose a name for the new database. Your plan must include the target engine.
03
Copy the database
Layerbase copies into the new target. The source stays in place while you check the result.
04
Verify and cut over
Read the verification report and test your application against the target. Stop source writes for the final copy, then switch your connection when you are satisfied.
What is verified before cutover
- The report compares the source and target key counts using DBSIZE. Counts can change as keys expire or applications write; this is not a per-value checksum.
What does not carry over unchanged
- The source address and credentials are not automatically adopted by the target. Update your application connection.
- Review engine-specific commands, modules, and configuration with your application before cutover.
FAQ
Conversion questions
Does conversion delete my source?
No. Conversion creates a separate target. Review it before choosing whether to decommission the source.
Can I keep writing during cutover?
Writes made after the copy are not continuously replicated. Plan a write freeze for the final copy and check the target before switching your application.
