BetterDB for Valkey offers a robust solution for lightweight Valkey database management directly within Visual Studio Code. This extension enables seamless browsing of keys, editing of values, and executing commands without exiting the editor, thus enhancing productivity.

Key Features

Multi-Connection Management

Efficiently save and manage multiple Valkey/Redis connections securely using VS Code's SecretStorage API. This prevents credentials from being stored in plaintext configuration files.

Conveniently scan and filter keys based on patterns. Users can view key types and Time-To-Live (TTL) at a glance, with support for wildcard patterns such as user:*, session:*, or *:cache.

Comprehensive CRUD Support

Manage Valkey data types through specialized editors, allowing for viewing, editing, and deleting of data.

Type	View	Edit	Delete
String	✓	✓	✓
Hash	✓	✓	✓
List	✓	✓	✓
Set	✓	✓	✓
Sorted Set	✓	✓	✓
Stream	✓	—	✓
