You can switch between them using the `ddev redis-backend <backend>` command after having added the add-on. For example, `ddev add-on get ddev/ddev-redis; ddev redis-backend valkey/valkey:9`

ddev redis-cli INFO
# Server
redis_version:7.2.4
server_name:valkey
valkey_version:9.0.1
valkey_release_stage:ga
