Redis 8.0 is now available
Redis 8.0 — the latest stable release with vector sets, JSON, time series, and bloom filters bundled in core, plus I/O threading enabled by default — is now the default version when creating a new Redis instance.
What's changed
- Redis 8.0 (redis:8.0-alpine) selectable as the default version on the cache create page
- New "Redis 8.0 General Purpose" parameter group ships with io-threads=4 and io-threads-do-reads=yes for higher throughput on multi-core profiles
- Vector sets, native JSON, time series, and bloom filters now ship with the core image — no module installation needed
- Existing Redis 7.4 / 7.2 instances continue to run on their selected version; choose Redis 8.0 when creating a new instance
- Parameter groups are now version-scoped — a Redis 7.4 system parameter group cannot be attached to a Redis 8.0 instance, and the dropdown filters to compatible groups automatically. Custom parameter groups remain compatible across versions.
