The Redis Migration Reality

In June 2025, DigitalOcean discontinued Redis, forcing users to migrate to Valkey or find alternatives. Here's what happened next:

DigitalOcean's Redis Sunset

  • ✗ Forced migration to unproven Valkey
  • ✗ Service interruptions during transition
  • ✗ Additional migration costs and downtime
  • ✗ Loss of Redis expertise and tooling
  • ✗ Uncertainty about future service changes

Chita Cloud's Stability Promise

  • ✓ Redis included in all paid plans
  • ✓ Long-term commitment to Redis
  • ✓ Zero-downtime Redis integration

Why Go Developers Are Switching

From DigitalOcean Users:

"The Redis migration broke our caching layer. Valkey just isn't the same, and the performance dropped significantly."

— Senior Go Developer, Reddit

"Bandwidth charges caught me by surprise. $290 bill for 12 hours of GPU usage wasn't in my budget."

— Freelance Developer, r/digital_ocean

After Switching to Chita:

"Finally, predictable costs I can quote to clients. Redis included means no architecture changes needed."

— Freelance Go Developer, Barcelona

"Migration took 2 hours. Performance is better, costs are lower, and I sleep better knowing no forced migrations."

— Go Consultant, Netherlands
