| Folder | What |
|---|---|
helm-chart/ |
Official valkey/valkey Helm chart on kind as primary + 2 replicas, plus a 6-node cluster (3 primaries + 3 replicas) on Docker Compose |
valkey-operator/ |
3-shard x 1-replica ValkeyCluster with persistence on kind, official Valkey Operator; scale by shard |
ot-redis-operator/ |
3-leader + 3-follower RedisCluster on kind, OT-CONTAINER-KIT redis-operator running upstream valkey/valkey; scale by leader |
minimal-lua/ |
One Valkey on Docker Compose; Go client (rueidis) calling Lua scripts for add, update, delete |
Each folder has a Makefile (make up, make test, make down, ...) that creates everything it needs, including the kind cluster, with defaults at the top. Tools come from the repo-root flake.nix (direnv allow or nix develop at the root).

SET/GET columns are valkey-benchmark; Lua columns are bench-lua (rueidis).
- Official chart has no cluster mode: standalone or primary/replica only, no Sentinel. The cluster in
helm-chart/therefore runs on Docker Compose; the kind part is primary/replica. - Official operator is early: its README says not ready for production; API
v1alpha1. - OT operator relies on an alpha flag: no Valkey mode; it runs Valkey only with
featureGates.GenerateConfigInInitContainer=true.
