Add Valkey to onprem in-memory databases
Author: rlunarCreated Jul 5, 2026Updated Jul 5, 2026
Feature request
Add a Valkey node class to diagrams.onprem.inmemory, alongside the existing Redis class.
Motivation
Valkey is an open source, high-performance key/value datastore that was forked from Redis after Redis changed its licensing. It is stewarded by the Linux Foundation and has seen broad adoption (AWS ElastiCache, Google Cloud Memorystore, and others now offer Valkey). Many on-prem and cloud architectures now use Valkey in place of Redis, so it would be useful to represent it in diagrams.
Proposed change
- Add a
Valkeyclass indiagrams/onprem/inmemory.py:class Valkey(_Inmemory): _icon = "valkey.png" - Add the
valkey.pngicon resource underresources/onprem/inmemory/. - Document the new node in
docs/nodes/onprem.md.
Notes
An open PR already implements this: #1230.
