Valkey General Language Independent Driver for the Enterprise (GLIDE), is an open-source Valkey client library. Valkey GLIDE is one of the official client libraries for Valkey, and it supports all Valkey commands. Valkey GLIDE supports Valkey 7.2 and above, and Redis open-source 6.2, 7.0 and 7.2. Application programmers use Valkey GLIDE to safely and reliably connect their applications to Valkey- and Redis OSS- compatible services. Valkey GLIDE is designed for reliability, optimized performance, and high-availability, for Valkey and Redis OSS based applications. It is sponsored and supported by AWS and GCP, and is pre-configured with best practices learned from over a decade of operating Redis OSS-compatible services used by hundreds of thousands of customers. To help ensure consistency in application development and operations, Valkey GLIDE is implemented using a core driver framework, written in Rust, with language specific extensions. This design ensures consistency in features across languages and reduces overall complexity.
Valkey GLIDE is API-compatible with the following engine versions:
| Engine Type | 6.2 | 7.0 | 7.2 | 8.0 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Valkey | - | - | V | V |
| Redis | V | V | V | - |
In the current release, Valkey GLIDE is available for Python, Java and Node.js. Support for Go is currently in public preview and support for C# is under active development, with plans to include more programming languages in the future.
- Vector Similarity Search and JSON modules support
- Availability zone routing for Read from Replica
- Public preview for GO support

GLIDE has a native component which appears to be incompatible with GLIBC shipped in Amazon Linux 2 (AL2), Debian 11. Client crashes with one of the following errors:
/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.34' not found
/lib64/libm.so.6: version `GLIBC_2.29' not found
You can get the GLIBC version included in your OS by running ldd --version. GLIBC versions 2.26, 2.27, 2.30, and 2.31 are not supported.
Keep in mind, that derived OSes, like Ubuntu 20, Linux Mint, Pop!_OS and some AWS Lambda runtimes are incompatible too. It is recommended to use newer environments to avoid issues.
We are working hard to resolve this issue. You can track our progress in issue #3291.
