Managed Caching

Leave the complexity of database management to us. Focus on building great applications, while we help configure, secure, and scale your Caching clusters.

Why Managed Caching?

Managed Caching is compatible with Redis, which is an open-source, key-value database built with an in-memory design that emphasizes speed. It has support for rich data types, atomic operations, and Lua scripting.

DigitalOcean’s Managed Database for Redis® is now called Managed Caching

It’s the same product you know and love, we’re just calling it something different: Managed Caching.

Robust capabilities, easy to scale

Quickly and easily spin up a high-performance database cluster.

Easy to setup

Launch a Caching cluster with just a few clicks and then access it via our simplified UI or API.

Highly scalable

Scale up at any time to support your business growth. Resize your Caching clusters to add more CPUs, RAM, and storage. Add up to 2 additional nodes (for a total of 3 nodes) to your Caching cluster to increase performance and handle fluctuating workloads.

End-to-end Security

Databases run in your account's private network, and only whitelisted requests via the public internet can reach your database. Data is also encrypted in transit and at rest.

Automated failover

In the event of a failure, Managed Databases will automatically switch data handling to a standby node to minimize downtime.

Migrate for free

Easily migrate your databases from external servers or cloud providers to DigitalOcean with minimal downtime.

Fast, reliable performance

Run your clusters on Droplets (cloud VMs) with shared vCPUs or choose Droplets with 100% dedicated vCPUs for mission critical workloads.

DigitalOcean's Managed Databases have been a game-changer. They've done a fantastic job of removing the complexity of setting up, tuning, and securing databases for production use.

Scrapable Metrics Now Available for Kafka, MySQL, PostgreSQL, and Caching Managed Databases

Discover how you can optimize database performance, gain visibility into database resource utilization, and improve capacity planning.

Learn more about Scrapable Metrics

Integrated metrics, insights, and alerting

Understand database performance, resource usage, and errors so that you can efficiently size, scale, and tune your Caching cluster. Managed databases include critical database-level metrics, such as connections, cache hit ratio, sequential vs. indexed scans, throughput, and more.

Scrapable metrics

Scrapable metrics refer to database performance metrics and monitoring data that are accessed via scraping techniques. You can use these metrics to access, extract, and analyze real-time performance metrics directly from your Caching databases with ease and flexibility.

Predictable pricing

Always know what you'll pay with monthly caps and flat pricing across all data centers. Spin up a cluster for just $15/month.

World-class support

Superior support services are designed to meet your needs whether you are a startup, large business, or anything in between.
