Linux Foundation Launches Open Source Valkey Community (Alternative to Redis)FlumPHP@programming.dev to Open Source@lemmy.ml – 79 points – 3 months agolinuxfoundation.org4Post a CommentPreviewHotTopNewOldHad no knowledge of what Valkey or Redis was, so: 'Valkey, an open source alternative to the Redis in-memory, NoSQL data store.' At least that helped me a bit ;-)They chose an interesting time to switch licensing. MS introduced Garnet, and now the LF has Valkey as a direct descendent. Strange times ahead.From my understanding Redis hasn't been libre software since 2018 so the new competition from Microsoft might be a driver for the licensing decision.Just FYI Drew DeVault also started a fork recently https://codeberg.org/redict/redict/
