### Redis 8.2 on Redis Cloud Pro
20
+
21
+
Redis 8.2 is now available on Redis Cloud Pro. You can now upgrade your existing Pro database to Redis 8.2.
22
+
23
+
See [upgrade database version]({{< relref "/operate/rc/databases/version-management/upgrade-version" >}}) to learn how to upgrade your existing Pro database to the latest version. If you are upgrading to Redis 8.2 from Redis 7.4 or earlier, review the [Redis 8.0 breaking changes]({{< relref "/operate/rc/changelog/version-release-notes/8-0#breaking-changes" >}}) before upgrading.

Redis 8.2 builds on the foundation of Redis 8.0 with significant performance and memory optimizations, enhanced streaming capabilities, and improved cluster management tools. For more information on the changes in Redis 8.2, see [What's new in Redis 8.2]({{<relref "/develop/whats-new/8-2" >}}) and review the Redis Open Source [8.2 release notes]({{<relref "/operate/oss-and-stack/stack-with-enterprise/release-notes/redisce/redisos-8.2-release-notes" >}}).
16
+
17
+
Starting with the release of Redis 8.2 on Redis Cloud Pro, Redis Cloud will automatically upgrade your database to the latest minor version during maintenance windows. See [Redis version management]({{< relref "/operate/rc/databases/version-management" >}}) for more information.

## Breaking changes
20
+
21
+
When new versions of Redis Open Source change existing commands, upgrading your database to a new version can potentially break some functionality. Before you upgrade, read the provided list of breaking changes that affect Redis Cloud and update any applications that connect to your database to handle these changes.
22
+
23
+
If you are upgrading from Redis 7.4, review the [Redis 8.0 breaking changes]({{< relref "/operate/rc/changelog/version-release-notes/8-0#breaking-changes" >}}) before upgrading.

See [Search and query Active-Active databases]({{< relref "/operate/oss_and_stack/stack-with-enterprise/search/search-active-active" >}}) to learn how to use Search and query on Active-Active databases.
For Search and query databases, the estimated throughput from the [Sizing calculator](https://redis.io/redisearch-sizing-calculator/) is the total amount of throughput you need. When setting throughput for your Active-Active database, use the total amount for each region and divide it depending on your read (query) and write (update) needs for each region. For example, if the total amount of throughput needed is 50000 ops/sec, you could set each region to have 20000 ops/sec for reads (queries) and 30000 ops/sec for writes (updates).
