AWS Redis to Valkey Migration in NZ
Faster cache. Lower cost. No downtime. That’s what MaiCoin got.
Many NZ firms use AWS ElastiCache Redis for caching. This works well but costs rise fast.
High costs slow growth. Some firms stop growing to save cash.
The Problem for NZ Firms
Redis costs grow with use. Big sites pay more. No way to avoid it.
Joe’s Bakery uses Redis. Traffic spikes. Costs rise. Profits drop.
What This Means
Cache costs eat profits. No time to fix. Sites crash. Users get angry.
Cache is like a speed boost. Lose it. Site slows. Sales fall.
Key Point: Switch to Valkey and save money fast.
Why Kiwis Should Care
Costs rise. NZ firms hit hard. AWS pricing adds up fast.
Auckland SMEs pay $0.10 per hour. That adds up to $220 per month.
The Fix

Valkey is free. No license fees. Speed is same. Costs drop fast.
