“Valkey” Open Source Redis Fork Backed by Linux Foundation, ...
Blog post from Socket
Valkey, an open-source high-performance key-value store and fork of Redis, has been launched with backing from the Linux Foundation and major industry players like Amazon, Google Cloud, and Oracle, following Redis's controversial license change away from open source. Initiated by Amazon ElastiCache engineer Madelyn Olson and other former Redis contributors, Valkey aims to continue the open-source ethos under the BSD-3-Clause license and is forming a community-driven governance model under the Linux Foundation. The project has gained significant popularity on GitHub and plans to enhance the technology with features like improved scalability, multi-threaded performance, and vector search support, paralleling similar industry trends like the relicensing of Elasticsearch. Valkey's creation underscores a commitment to maintaining an open-source ecosystem driven by community contributions and innovation, amid concerns about proprietary relicensing practices.
