The Fastest Redis Ever

I thought people stopped using Redis and moved on to a fork because of licensing issues. Is this true?

No, like yes they pissed a lot of people off and some people did migrate. But a large majority of "enterprise" customers didn't, it's just too much effort for a service you are paying for anyway.

I dunno, MongoDB is as if it's gone, due to a license change in 2018. So asking if redis should be thought of the same as MongoDB is a legitimate question.

I just gave valkey-container its 100th star https://github.com/valkey-io/valkey-container

valkey is still dropin compatible now so migration is pretty easy.

plus aws elasticache give you like 30% price cut when you switch to valkey powered engine ; which make it a pretty good incentive.

Only AWS did, and their fork is already lacking several important new features like HEXPIRE.

Finally. Hope they implement this soon at Valkey.

We've switched to https://github.com/microsoft/Garnet and been very happy

"As if it's gone"? Is this a joke?

We used Redis in a project where we also manage hosting on a semi-public cloud infrastructure and I had troubled figuring out if license change applied to our situation. We didn't want to pay a lawyer to figure this out, so we switched to Valkey.

Mongodb is gone; everyone stopped using it. The publicly traded company behind it with thousands of employees and over a billion in revenue is a figment of your imagination.

It's sort of as if it's gone. TFA is about what I no longer recognize as what I used to mean when I talked about redis. Since the license change the project with the trademark no longer fits that concept. Valkey does. I'm not sure where I ca find something that fit my old context of MongoDB.

It's kind of like how Java still exists but doesn't commonly run in browsers in the form of a Java Applet. It exists behind the scenes and I'm sure many who used to use it now use it indirectly.

We're working on it, you can follow the progress here: https://github.com/valkey-io/valkey/issues/640.

There is a lot of adoption of Valkey. I know it's fun to hate on AWS, but there is a wider shift than just them.
