"Rapidly", so most people don't even know the story about Redis changes and I would say 99.99 never heard about Valkey.

"Rapidly", so most people don't even know the story about Redis changes and I would say 99.99 never heard about Valkey.
- Osiris 3y agoI was aware of the license change but not of the forks. Now I am.
- llm_trw 3y agoWe are experiencing exponential growth in the last week, going from 1 user to 2.
- edvinbesic 3y ago100% week over week growth is nothing to sneeze at
- airstrike 3y agoRelevant xkcd https://xkcd.com/605/ https://xkcd.com/605/
- kgeist 3y agoAt the company, I mentioned Valkey, and no one had any clue what I was taking about (we use Redis).
- joshmanders 3y agoRedis (64.7k stars): Excluding merges, 8 authors have pushed 8 commits to unstable and 10 commits to all branches. On unstable, 173 files have changed and there have been 2,002 additions and 3,194 deletions. Valkey (12k stars): Excluding merges, 41 authors have pushed 147 commits to unstable and 181 commits to all branches. On unstable, 473 files have changed and there have been 10,635 additions and 9,663 deletions. You may as well just start mentally teaching yourself to alias redis to valkey.
- skeledrew 3y agoBut what value have those 8 vs 41 authors added to the project with those changes? I think that's the primary concern here.
- wmf 3y agoHow are we supposed to interpret these numbers? In its whole history, Redis has had 8 contributors? And in less than a month Valkey has added 33 contributors?
- tredre3 3y agoThose numbers mean nothing because obviously a fork in its inception will have a burst of activity. Half of those changes are probably just renaming redis => valkey, too. Let's check the numbers in 6 months or a year for a truly meaningful figure about the health of each project.
- andix 3y agoOnce the big cloud providers start to charge extra for Redis over Valkey in a few months everybody will know. Valkey just released their first stable version 3 days ago. So it might take another week or two until it's popular ;)
