By similar logic, one may also decide to go with the Valkey alternative to Redis, which is likely better maintained and more compatible (see [this issue](https://github.com/mother-of-all-self-hosting/mash-playbook/issues/247)).

 **Warning**: Because Valkey is not as flexible as [Postgres](postgres.md) when it comes to authentication and data separation, it's **recommended that you run separate Valkey instances** (one for each service). Valkey supports multiple database and a [SELECT](https://valkey.io/commands/select/) command for switching between them. However, **reusing the same Valkey instance is not good enough** because:
