[$] The race to replace Redis

Date:
Thu, 28 Mar 2024 20:31:35 +0000

Description:
On March 21, Redis Ltd. announced that the Redis " in-memory data store " 
project would now be
released under non-free, source-available licenses, starting with Redis7.4. 
The
news is unwelcome, but not entirely unexpected. What is unusual with this 
situation is
the number of Redis alternatives to choose from; there are at least
four options to choose as a replacement for those who wish to stay
with free software, including a pre-existing fork called KeyDB and the Linux 
Foundation's newly-announced Valkey project. The question now is which one(s)
Linux distributions, users, and providers will choose to take its place.
