Managed Redis and Valkey providers side by side, with every fact dated and sourced.

EU managed Redis & Valkey: 11 providers compared (Nov 2026). Seven of the 11 providers keep both the company and the data in the EU: Aiven, OVHcloud, Scaleway, Clever Cloud, UpCloud, Stackhero and KVNest. UpCloud is the cheapest with data on disk, at €8 a month for 1 GB. As of 4 November 2026, KVNest is the only one of the 11 that combines a free tier, a hosted MCP server and a choice of Redis or Valkey.

KVNest vs Upstash: EU-owned or serverless? (Nov 2026). Pick Upstash for serverless and edge apps that want an HTTP API, per-request pricing, global read replicas or high availability today. Pick KVNest if you want an EU-owned company and upstream Redis Open Source 8.10 or Valkey 9.1 over a standard TLS connection, free during the public preview with no command quota.

Redis vs Valkey in 2026: what's different and which to pick. For most apps it doesn't matter: Redis 8 and Valkey 9 speak the same protocol, and mainstream Redis clients connect to both. Pick Redis if you need TimeSeries or the newest Redis Query Engine features; pick Valkey if you want a BSD license and a Linux Foundation project. On KVNest you choose per instance, at the same price.
