Since the August 2025 preview, the cluster client gained more robust error handling for ASK/MOVED/TRYAGAIN redirections, cut failover downtime from 30 seconds to under 2 seconds, achieved feature parity with the standalone client including cluster-level pipelines and transactions, and consolidated subscription connections into a single shared connection. Version 1.0 also adds support for new Valkey 9.0 commands, distributed tracing, runtime-defined dynamic pipelines, numbered database configuration, and the valkey-search module. Replica reads with round-robin selection are supported, with latency- and AZ-aware selection planned alongside sentinel mode and swift-metrics integration. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.

Valkey-swift 1.0 adds support for new commands from Valkey 9.0, distributed tracing, dynamic command pipelines defined at runtime instead of only at compile time, numbered database configuration, and the valkey-search module. The cluster client also gained feature parity with the standalone client, including cluster-level pipelines and transactions. _Track new client library releases like valkey-swift 1.0 as they ship on daily.dev._ ### How much did valkey-swift reduce cluster failover downtime in the 1.0 release? Cluster failover and connection loss downtime dropped from 30 seconds to under 2 seconds in valkey-swift 1.0. This came alongside more robust cluster mode error handling with seamless support for ASK and MOVED redirections and TRYAGAIN errors. _Developers evaluating cluster resilience for Valkey clients can follow updates like this on daily.dev._ ### Does valkey-swift support reading from replicas for scaling reads? Yes, both the standalone and cluster clients in valkey-swift 1.0 support reading from replicas to scale reads. Replica selection currently uses a round-robin method, with latency-aware and availability-zone-aware selection strategies planned for future releases. _Anyone architecting read-scaling strategies with Valkey can keep tabs on client capabilities via daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Valkey 9.0 Introduces Multi-Database Clustering, Atomic Slot Migration, and Major Performance Gains](https://daily.dev/posts/valkey-9-0-introduces-multi-database-clustering-atomic-slot-migration-and-major-performance-gains-2gkxrlley) · InfoQ · 7 upvotes · 0 comments - [Valkey just had a 17x year.
