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.

16 May

• New managed database clusters are now automatically provisioned with default alert policies for CPU, memory, and disk utilization at a 90% threshold. These alerts notify you via email when resource usage is high, so you can investigate your application load or scale your cluster. You can modify or remove the default alerts at any time. For more information, see the following:

7 May

• 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.
