Changelog

Paid Render Key Value instances now support three different disk persistence modes:

• Journal + Snapshot: Append writes to a journal and periodically save full snapshots.
  • This matches the behavior of all paid Key Value instances before this release.
• Snapshot only: Disable journaling while continuing to save periodic snapshots.
• Off: Disable all disk-backed persistence.

Reducing persistence can improve write performance for loss-tolerant use cases, such as a shared cache.

You specify your instance's persistence mode on creation:

You can change your instance's persistence mode in the Render Dashboard or using the Render API. Note the following:

• Changing your persistence mode requires a restart, during which your Key Value instance is unavailable for a few seconds.
• If you change your mode to or from Off, all data in your instance is lost after the restart.

Learn more about Key Value persistence modes in the documentation.
