Valkey is a high-performance, open-source database that stores key-value data in memory, and is designed for caching, message queues, and primary database use. Fully compatible with Redis, Valkey serves as a drop-in replacement.
The DigitalOcean API lets you manage DigitalOcean resources programmatically using conventional HTTP requests. All the functionality available in the DigitalOcean Control Panel is also available through the API.
By sending requests to the API’s /v2/databases endpoint, you can list, create, or delete database clusters as well as scale the size of a cluster, add or remove read-only replicas, and manage other configuration details. See the API documentation on databases for more information.
The DigitalOcean API
You can use the API to manage database clusters, database pools, replicas, and users.
The DigitalOcean Command Line Client, doctl
doctl is a command-line interface for the DigitalOcean API and supports many of the same actions.
doctl supports managing database clusters, database pools, replicas, and users, and more from the command line. See the doctl documentation or use doctl databases --help for more information.
