Valkey – The Drop-in Alternative to Redis OSS
With the change of Redis licensing in March of 2024 came the end of Redis as an open source project. Enter Valkey – the community driven fork that preserves and improves the familiar high-performance, key-value datastore for improving application performance.
Stewarded by the Linux foundation, Valkey serves as an open source drop-in alternative to Redis OSS – no code changes needed, with the same developer-friendly experience. For your open source database, check out Valkey.

Tech Trivia
On April 20, 1998, during a demonstration of a beta version of Windows 98 by Microsoft’s Bill Gates, at COMDEX, the system crashed in the live event. Gates jokingly said, “That must be why we’re not shipping Windows 98 yet”. If you ever used Windows 98, you know that it should have never been shipped
