Upcoming Changes
-
DigitalOcean Managed Caching is being discontinued on 30 June 2025.
To replace Managed Caching, we are offering Managed Valkey, a Redis-compatible alternative with RDMA and higher throughput. All existing Managed Caching clusters automatically convert to Valkey clusters by 30 June 2025 during your upgrade window, retaining all data.
1 July 2025
-
The DOKS database operator, which facilitated integration of DOKS clusters with managed databases, is deprecated. Your existing databases remain operational and the operator-related CRDs are not removed. You can use the DigitalOcean API, CLI, or control panel to manage the databases created with the operator.
7 May 2025
-
You can now manually convert your Caching cluster to a Valkey cluster. All Caching clusters automatically convert to Valkey clusters by the Managed Caching discontinuation date.
30 April 2025
-
The creation of new DigitalOcean Managed Caching clusters is disabled for all users except those with an existing Caching cluster.
