DigitalOcean Managed Caching is approaching its end of availability (EOA). You cannot create new Caching clusters past 30 April 2025 (except if you already have an existing Caching cluster), and the product will be discontinued on 30 June 2025.
To replace Managed Caching, we are now offering Managed Valkey, a Redis-compatible alternative that offers RDMA and higher throughput.
All Managed Caching clusters will automatically convert to Valkey clusters by 30 June 2025 during your upgrade window, retaining all data. You can also manually convert your Caching cluster to Valkey using our conversion guide.
