@purelinux We have moved some services to Redict. If you want stability and don't care about specific new features, it's a reliable choice that doesn't need much attention. It's just running nicely just as Redis once did.
If Redis was a core part of your application and you benefit a lot of community and new features, you might come to another conclusion, though.
@mistersql surely if it's protocol compatible, then they would have to break both redis-py and their own redis clients to pull-off breaking though? Gotta be done slowly, like MySQL 8 and MariaDB
@noim No it is not and on GitHub it has entries of code that is less than half a year old. Since it is already complete, it is unlikely to receive daily updates. it is active in my opinion and many well-known companies also use it.
Wow! An implementation of a few #redis types over #SQLite, I'm really impressed how awesome is the #SQLite the change of license is pushing the #OSS community to find interesting alternatives https://github.com/nalgeon/redka
The new #redis website has broken so many links. Some redirect to their new corresponding urls, but not all of them, and it's very hard to find anything in their new marketing-focused website 😩
The whole Redis fiasco has resulted in Valkey emerging which will likely leave Redis behind with MongoDB and MySQL which were also taken over by companies which tried to monetize them. Long story short, a VC back company assumed control of the Redis project which was Open Source and promised the project creator to keep it that way, but broke that promise. It has been forked and major cloud companies are funding the fork which is called Valkey. #Redis#Valkey
"#Redis broke with the community that helped it grow and left them stranded. This community is now unbound and will continue to use and contribute to the project as they have always done, and with more freedom. "
There’s a combo hot take brewing in my head about the #xz and #redis debacles.
It goes something like:
When the shit hits the fan and part of the reason appears to be an overworked and underpaid maintainer, lots of people come out of the woodwork to demand more respect and money for them.
But when a maintainer recognizes that they’re in an unsustainable situation and dares to make a proactive change, well FUCK THAT GUY. WHO THE HELL DOES HE THINK HE IS?
