Remember I said the community will gather behind a fork to keep it , and that is a strong candidate?

It's continuing to gain momentum, and just added more major corp partners incl. Aiven, Alibaba Cloud, Chainguard, Heroku, Huawei, Percona, and Verizon. Check out the @linuxfoundation announcement here: https://www.linuxfoundation.org/press/valkey-community-announces-release-candidate-amid-growing-support-for-open-source-data-store

is also going full steam, reaching GENERAL AVAILABILITY just a couple of weeks after the fork announcement:

7.2.5 GA is out!

If you’re at , drop by the Valkey booth. We’ve got some killer swag: Slick water bottles and utensil sets (that include a fork 😉).

YARF! Yet Another Redis Fork.

In today's edition we have Valkey! Valkey is backed by the Linux Foundation and a large number of Redis contributors have moved to Valkey.

Packages are built for Fedora and EPEL.

Now that is public, I'm also excited to say that I've taken a new role working on the project full time.

This all happened extremely quickly but I'm really pumped to help build this community of open source contributors and users across organization.

(Also I get to talk about HyperLogLog once again!)

Is going to support ? I would guess not?

Inc appears to be in complete control of the library, I don't see why they'd support forks they're hostile to:

I've been reviewing the docs before publishing them. They were inherited from that other project and the neglect is pretty wild.

Here is my favourite so far.

A linked example that has been public for 14+ years with a note that it's been broken since 2010 (because of Chrome 6).

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.

I am unsure, whether i should migrate my #redis instances to #redict or #valkey ?

Whats your favorite?

Just switched my #SelfHosted #PeerTube instance from using #Redis to #Valkey now that it has a stable release out as a #Docker #container too, and.. that went too easily 😅. I know this makes sense as it is 100% compatible, but it still feels quite amazing to have it just work.
In case it helps; I just switched to using the valkey/valkey:7-alpine image, and because I also renamed things in my docker-compose I added PEERTUBE_REDIS_HOSTNAME=valkey to the PeerTube .env file too. That's it!

Interested in and want to help the project with a non-code but super important contribution?

There is an open call for colour pallet submissions:

https://github.com/valkey-io/valkey-io.github.io/issues/55

This pallet will be used as the basis for all sorts of things: the non-placeholder website, tee-shirts, merch, giveaways, booth decorations, etc.

Open Source will always win!

https://github.com/valkey-io/valkey

"A new project to resume development on the formerly open-source Redis project. We're calling it , since it's a twist on the key-value datastore."

My first article in #Fedora magazine on moving to #Valkey has been published!

You should check it out if you're currently on #Redis and looking to move to something with an #OpenSource future.
