BetterDB is a monitoring platform for Valkey (and Redis) that focuses on what existing tools miss: Historical persistence – Slowlog entries disappear when the buffer fills. BetterDB persists them so you can see what queries were running at 3am, which clients were connected, and what anomalies were detected — not just current state. Pattern analysis – Stop scrolling through raw slowlog entries.…
