The change to replace Redis with Valkey is primarily motivated by licensing and community support concerns. Redis recently moved to a more restrictive source-available license (RSAL), which has implications for open-source use and integration into certain ecosystems. In contrast, Valkey is a community-driven fork of Redis that remains under the permissive BSD 3-Clause License, ensuring continued openness and broad compatibility.
Functionally, Valkey is a drop-in replacement for Redis and maintains full protocol and data format compatibility, making the migration relatively low risk. It is backed by many of the same contributors and aims to preserve Redis’s performance and reliability, while encouraging broader collaboration under a truly open license. This change positions our stack to remain open-source friendly and avoids future licensing uncertainty, without sacrificing performance or functionality. https://www.travell.co/ -- _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
