As I understand it, linux has dependencies on Redis. Since redis licence change, that can't work so linux needs an alternative.
Linux foundation made a fork of redis named valkey, which was instantly backed by most of the Core maintainers, and many large companies (AWS, GCP, Oracle, Snap).
So it seems obvious that this fork which will be part of linux dependencies, has backing of big corps and core maintainers isn't going anywhere and is likely the 'new redis'.

- cyberpunk 2y agoLinux depends on Redis? Do you mean the foundation uses it to serve some marketing sites or it's part of some build farm/infra or something?
- richardwhiuk 2y agoThe Linux Foundation was a natural home for the new OSS project - there's no Linux dependency on Redis.
