@polishdub If you were going to do this today, you should probably use something like this with #valkey instead:

valkey.io/topics/pubsub/

Finally, after delaying it for months, I finally replaced redis with valkey on my homeserver. The process was painless. Nextcloud initially didn't work, but that was only because I forgot to restart PHP-FPM.

#SysAdmin #Nextcloud #Redis #Valkey #Server #homeserver

You want to see something slick? You can run #Valkey in your browser.

No, this is not connecting to some remote server.

It's literally running the valkey server and CLI on top of Linux from within your browser on an emulated CPU (thanks to the amazing V86 project).

Of course, this is not for anything production but it's an amazing tool to try out Valkey and get your hands dirty.

🦫 🐝 Overhead for distributed tracing can be costly, but can help reduce resource strain on CPUs, memory, and network traffic: t.ly/QBRYt

#Valkey inherits an API, and I've been using that API for 12+ years and teaching it to others for about than half that time.

There are some parts that drive me totally batty though. I say all the time: a hashmap contains a series of fields and values.

And yet the HKEYS command returns all the _fields_ in a hashmap (not keys). It's named 100% incorrectly and I twitch every time I have to explain that.

Near the top of time machine todo list would be to stop this API naming travesty.

Great to see the Arkime open source project supporting the @OpenSearchProject as search backend, to make high-volume network traffic data searchable and actionable.
BTW, Arkime also supports the Valkey project. Two projects championed by AWS Open Source 👏👏

Valkey Turns One: Community fork of Redis | Hacker News

Link
Valkey Turns One: How the Community Fork Left Redis in the Dust
https://gomomento.com/blog/valkey-turns-one-community-fork-redis

📌 Summary:
本文回顧了 Valkey 社羣分支成立一週年後的發展與成就,源於 Redis Inc 在封閉原始碼的決定所引發的社羣分裂危機。Redis Inc 改採較嚴格的 SSPL 授權,導致社羣信任瓦解,於是 Valkey 自原始 BSD 授權 Redis 代碼分岔以維持開源精神並重建信任。隨著 Redis 8.0 重新回歸開源,原作者 Antirez 也回歸協助優化,雙方均著手引入多線程 I/O 的改進。基準測試顯示 Valkey 8.1 在多線程 I/O 優化下效能遠超 Redis 8.0,達到接近 100 萬 RPS(每秒請求數),且延遲低於 Redis。透過細緻的 CPU 核心綁定與 IRQ 中斷優化,Valkey 進一步發揮了硬體效能。文章亦針對安裝環境、測試設定及調校做出說明,並強調基準測試固然有其限制,但仍為雙方持續優化提供參考。社羣普遍認為 Valkey 授權較寬鬆,因而被多家大型企業接受並積極投入,有望成為高效能鍵值儲存的主流之一。同時,Redis 採用 AGPL 並要求貢獻者簽署專屬授權的做法,令部分原本社羣成員轉向 Valkey。整體而言,Valkey 的成功反映社羣合作與持續優化的力量,也突顯開源生態中不同商業模式與技術路線的拉鋸。

🎯 Key Points:
→ Redis Inc 封閉碼事件與社羣反應:
Redis Inc 在 2023 年決定關閉 Redis 原始碼,採用 SSPL 授權,引發社羣信任危機。
社羣自發分叉出 Valkey,繼承早期 BSD 開源授權,促使多家雲端大廠如 AWS、Google、Oracle 加入支持。

→ 多線程 I/O 改進與效能對比:
Redis 自 2020 年起嘗試 I/O 多線程,但直到近期才顯著提升效能。
Valkey 透過 AWS 等貢獻加強 I/O 執行緒,SET 操作最高達 999,800 RPS,延遲約 0.8 毫秒,超越 Redis 8.0 的 729,400 RPS。
多線程效益從兩個執行緒開始顯現,四執行緒以上 Valkey 性能明顯優於 Redis。

→ 系統調校策略與基準細節:
使用 AWS Graviton4 的 c8g.2xlarge(8 vCPU)和 c8g.8xlarge(32 vCPU)執行測試。
透過綁定 IRQ 只用兩個 CPU 核心,將 Valkey 與 Redis 分別限制使用其它核心,減少中斷與核心競爭,提高 CPU 利用率與緩存命中率。
連線數調整影響顯著,連線過多會使延遲飆升與吞吐降低,最佳化連線控制是重要調校點。
基準採用 1KB 物件、300 萬鍵空間,並開啟基準工具多線程以模擬實影響。
作者提醒基準測試非完美,需結合實務工作負載與監控工具(如 Rezolus)持續優化。

→ 授權與社羣生態影響:
Redis 採用 AGPL 並要求貢獻者簽署專有授權協議,允許重新授權並限制大型雲商使用,導致部分企業選擇 Valkey。
Valkey 授權較寬鬆(BSD),吸引更多開發者與企業參與,促成活躍且多元社羣。
社羣與技術首創者 Antirez 強調 Redis 原有多線程設計理念未變,並肯定 Valkey 改進,雙方正逐步引入優化技術。

🌘 Valkey 一週年:社羣分叉如何超越 Redis
➤ 社羣的力量:Valkey 如何證明開源的生命力
gomomento.com/blog/valkey-turn
Redis Inc. 關閉 Redis 的原始碼引發社羣反彈,由此誕生了 Valkey 這個分叉專案。經過一年的發展,Valkey 不僅存活了下來,在多項實際基準測試中更勝 Redis 8.0。 透過 AWS 提供的非同步 I/O 執行緒模型,Valkey 在吞吐量上提升了三倍以上。最新的效能測試顯示,Valkey 在每秒查詢次數 (RPS) 和延遲方面都優於 Redis,特別是在讀取效能上表現更為出色。 此外,透過最佳化 CPU 核心配置及 IRQ 處理,Valkey 的效能更可提升至每秒近百萬次查詢。
+ 真是令人驚嘆!原本以為 Redis 關閉原始碼會導致專案衰退,沒想到社羣的力量如此強大,竟然能創造出更優秀的 Valk

#Redis went AGPL again? Too bad you burnt that bridge in greed.

The next version of Valkey (8.2) will natively support MPTCP 🔀, thanks to Zhenwei 🎉 and Valkey maintainers:

Ok so now it seems like Redis is back to the opensource world

After the rug pull took place, I tried limiting my usage of Redis as Valkey, its opensource replacement had some issues with my installation

But now... Should it be the sign to finally try again a Valkey operator and remove all my redis instances ?!

LMAO look who came crawling back, after I already switched to Valkey. There is no way I am switching back, but good for the folks who are still on Redis, and get to live through a seamless transition back to open code.
