#valkey — Public Fediverse posts

Off to #FOSSY in Vancouver! I loved going to the first one a few years ago, so excited to return.

If you’re into #Valkey or databases in general, make sure and check out my session.

Addendum by a #valkey developer https://mastodon.social/@reconditerose/117012929002761918

I was struggling with migrating from Redis to Valkey, because the latest Valkey (9.x) can't read the file format of the latest Redis (8.x). The error message is something like:

# Can't handle RDB format version 13

Fortunately, there's an easy workaround.

Upgrade to Valkey as usual. But pass the following flags:

--rdb-version-check extra

You need to do this only once, because it immediately changes the file format. Next start will work without flags.

#redis #valkey

So - und jetzt ist redis auch raus und durch valkey ersetzt. Dann können sie Lizenzen ändern wie sie wollen. Ah. So ich denke nun kann der Samstag starten.

DoorDash's new Entity Cache runs on Envoy and Valkey, caching over 100 endpoints across 50 services at 1.5M requests/sec with 99.99999% availability.

Using Kafka-driven invalidation and the XFetch algorithm, it reduces cache stampedes and cuts P99 latency spikes by up to 80%.

Lookit! The #Valkey blog did a spotlight on me, Percona’s Valkey services and our perspective on caching.

Разбираемся с лицензией Redis. И что выбрать продуктовой команде

Redis долго был понятным выбором: BSD-лицензия, можно использовать почти где угодно. После смены лицензии в 2024 году всё стало сложнее: RSAL, SSPL, AGPLv3, Valkey, форки и вопросы к юристам. В статье рассматриваю этот вопрос со стороны обычных продуктовых команд, а не облачных провайдеров. Если Redis у вас внутри как кеш, очередь или для сессий, что реально меняется, где начинаются риски и что сегодня разумнее выбрать - Redis 8, Valkey или другой Redis-compatible вариант.

BIG NEWS! 😮

#Django got another task backend. 🎉

Threadmill has a durable message queue based on Redis as well as a monitoring interface based on textual.

Valkey и Redis: два года спустя — за кем будущее?

В марте 2024 года Redis сменил лицензию и, тем самым, положил начало развитию Valkey. Два года Valkey активно развивался: набирал количество контрибьютеров, коммитов, был встроен в многие проекты — в общем, показал себя на практике. Пришло время подвести итоги и понять: есть ли в этом сравнении победитель. В статье разберем обе технологии. Будет немного про историю развития и хронологические предпосылки, разбор ключевых фич и почти детективное расследование о жизни двух хранилищ. Также, покажем за кем будущее (по нашему мнению) и зачем мы контрибьютим в одно из них.

Бэкпорты теперь делают боты: как Valkey пустил ИИ-агентов в мейнтенанс — и удержал контроль

Valkey (форк Redis под крылом Linux Foundation) в релизном цикле 9.1 отдал ИИ-агентам рутину мейнтенанса: бэкпорт-агент сам раскатывает фиксы по веткам 7.2/8.0/8.1/9.0, отдельный агент сканирует provenance кода на конфликт с нынешней лицензией Redis (чтобы в форк случайно не затёк несовместимый код родителя), а агентский поиск багов наткнулся на ещё закрытую CVE. Разбираю не «ИИ заменяет мейнтейнеров», а как это сделали по уму: по словам Мэделин Олсон из AWS, агентов посадили на ограниченный, проверяемый слой (CI + ревью + человек на мерже) — «using AI agents without losing control». Главный вывод для своих проектов: сажать агентов на toil, а не на дизайн. Читать дальше →

#Valkey you should be able to get better performance than that caching for major DBs. 43% less overhead isn't that good. I could do better.

Back in the day, with original Redis, we used to be able to serve 10X as many users with a good PG-and-Redis architecture.

#OSSummit #India

Dive deep into #Valkey - the high-performance key/value datastore.

In this #InfoQ video, Viktor Vedmich explores Valkey’s architecture on AWS and demonstrates how it delivers sub-millisecond data access in both standalone & cluster modes.

What you'll learn:
🔹 Core data structures & replication strategies
🔹 High-availability features
🔹 Compatibility with Redis

Kubernetes дома? Ты не в себе? Как с Cursor и без DevOps-опыта поднять приватный кластер для личных проектов

Я реализовал свою первую задачу по замене «Яндекс Диска», довёл скорость до 1,1 ГБ/с и пошёл дальше — установил Kubernetes дома. Я не инженер DevOps, но на своём кластере из старых Mac mini я запустил полноценный K8s с Managed Services.

Well, we've finally packaged #Valkey (another #Redis fork) in #Gentoo, along with its #Python bindings.

Not that we wanted to, but #FakeRedis now started requiring it for tests so heavily that it was too much effort to patch it out. Just to be clear, it just requires the Python bindings, because its test suite happily runs against either Redis or Valkey, and literally doesn't support testing against both simultaneously. But to add the bindings, we needed the database to test them against. And since I've added the package too, I've put a lot of effort (and swearing) to test FakeRedis against both servers.

Should you be using Valkey? Well, let's put it like this. You shouldn't be using Redis, because it's enterprise quality shit. Valkey is roughly what happens when you fork enterprise quality shit and have no clue what you're doing. Though you are able to mostly get renaming right (one valkey-py test failed over the server calling itself "Valkey" rather than "Redis").

Disclaimer: I've only looked at the Python bindings. Maybe the maintainers are more knowledgeable with the server itself.

Arrived in the Bay Area for Percona Live. I’ve got a keynote and a talk scheduled related to #Valkey.

Let me know if you want a ticket!

I’m currently in León, Spain, making my way up to Stockholm for DIS2026 to talk about #Valkey.

My travel is truly trains, planes and automobiles: Train to Oviedo, Bus from Oviedo to OVD airport (40km from the train station 😑), layover in Frankfurt, Train from ARN to city centre and finally an Uber to my hotel in northern Stockholm.

Valkey-swift my Swift client for Valkey has posts in both the Swift and Valkey blogs this week https://valkey.io/blog/valkey-swift-1.0/ and https://www.swift.org/blog/whats-new-in-swift-april-2026/.

RE: https://fedi.copyleft.org/@bkuhn/116485542799811627

The #Blender situation is fascinating. Bradley highlights an important aspect of what's going on.

I think there is wide misunderstanding in how money has influence over #openSource projects. Make no mistake, given the source of the money here, people are rightfully concerned.

However, there is typically (but not always) good firewalls between money and governance (i.e. engineering).

It's possible to not take money at all (see #Valkey) but it's not easy to get lots of things done.

I am happy to announce our new docs for #valkey based rate limits, so you can replace #redis.
It's faster in in tail latency percentiles like p999.

Announcing django-vcache, an asyncio-first and fast #Django Cache backend for #Valkey/Redis. Featuring the #Rust redis crate with a pyo3 bridge to Python. Supports cluster and sentinel. Necessary to rewrite in Rust? No. Fun and very fast? Yes.

Valkey-swift 1.2.0 is out. WARNING, if you are using the ValkeySearch module this release has unavoidable breaking changes. I could have released a 2.0.0 but it didn't make sense so near to the 1.0.0. Sorry, this shouldn't happen again.

Off to #kubecon / #kubeconeu in #Amsterdam. Mostly syncing with folks on #Valkey.

Anyone else?
