Here is a sample script that creates a stack, adds your Valkey service to it, waits for it to start, retrieves its configuration (including generated credentials), and then applies a new configuration.
#!/bin/bash
set -e
export STACKHERO_TOKEN="usr-xxxxxx:your-token"
serviceStore="valkey" # The Valkey service store name (see step 2)
instance="..." # An instance size from step 3
region="europe" # A region name from step 3
# Create a stack for your service (uses your default organization; add --organization if needed)
stackId=$(stackhero --format=script stack-create \
--name="My Valkey stack")
echo "Stack created: ${stackId}"
# Add Valkey to the stack (names are resolved automatically)
serviceId=$(stackhero --format=script service-add \
--stack="My Valkey stack" \
--service-store="${serviceStore}" \
--instance="${instance}" \
--region="${region}")
echo "Service added: valkey"
# Wait for the service to be fully running (this may take a couple of minutes)
stackhero service-wait-for --service="valkey"
# Retrieve the service configuration, including generated credentials
stackhero service-configuration-get --service="valkey" --format=json
