Has anyone used valkey in production? How does it compare to redis? Can it be used as a 1:1 replacement to redis or are there any caveats?

- jjice 2y agoHaven't tried it in prod myself, but they claim full compatibility: > This release is fully compatible with Redis OSS 7.2.4.
- bloppe 2y agoThey only forked 5 months ago. Assuming you haven't adopted any brand new non-backward-compatible features in the last 5 months, then it should be a perfect drop-in replacement.
- forbiddenlake 2y agoIf you upgraded to 7.4, then redis switched to a proprietary dump format, and if you want to use those dumps you'll have to use a third-party tool to dump the data and put it back in valkey. https://github.com/valkey-io/valkey/issues/845#issuecomment-2258845992 https://github.com/valkey-io/valkey/issues/845#issuecomment-...
- ronsor 2y agoRedis switched to a proprietary dump format just to lock in users?
- reconditerose 2y agoI'm from the project. There shouldn't be any caveats of replacing Redis 7.2 and early to Valkey 8.0. I've talked with a few folks who have migrated and none so far have hit any issues, one even migrated from Redis 2.6.
