Customer stories

Don’t trust what we say — trust what our customers say.

“Danube Data offers easy and reliable access to S3 object instances. Everything is based in the EU. The web interface is simple to use and the API works without any problems. The Terraform provider is always up to date. I created a support ticket to report a bug and it was resolved the same day. I can fully recommend Danube Data and its services. If you have any questions, you can contact me via https://radiantgarden.io.”

Why Switch to Valkey?

The performance you love, without the licensing uncertainty.

BSD · Linux Foundation

License Stability

When Redis re-licensed in 2024, the original maintainers, AWS, Google and Oracle forked the project. Valkey is the result — permanently BSD-licensed and governed by the Linux Foundation.
