What Valkey Adds
Key Features When Redis changed to a non-open-source license, the Linux Foundation forked it as Valkey. Same Redis you know, but truly open source (BSD license) with backing from AWS, Google, Oracle, and Ericsson. Need to extract database data, cache metrics, or key-value store configs?

user = r.get('user:1') - Dual-channel replication — faster replica sync
- Over-memory eviction — better memory management
- Performance improvements — community-driven optimizations
- True BSD license — no restrictions, no surprises - Redis drop-in — same protocol, same commands
- BSD license — truly open source
- Linux Foundation — backed by major cloud providers
- Active development — new features from community
- Cluster mode — same Redis Cluster support - Valkey Docs
