* Package name : valkey Version : 7.2.4 Upstream Contact: https://github.com/valkey-io * URL : https://github.com/valkey-io/valkey * License : BSD-3 Programming Lang: C Description : Persistent key-value database with network interface (Redis fork) Valkey is a high-performance data structure server that primarily serves key/value workloads. It supports a wide range of native structures and an extensible plugin system for adding new data structures and access patterns. ---- "This project was forked from the open source Redis project right before the transition to their new source available licenses." Valkey is one of many Redis forks out there, but it seems to me to be the most promising one, at least after reading this LWN article: https://lwn.net/SubscriberLink/966631/4b4104ce85bf92f7/ For me, the plus sides: 1. unchanged licence (while redict changed to LGPL) 2. has the backing of the Linux foundation 3. exact same feature set as Redis before the fork (while KeyDB is lagging behind) We use Redis at the Tor Project internnally, and we're looking for a smooth transition, drop-in replacement.
