We just launched a new release candidate for Valkey (the OSS fork of Redis). The main change is that we rebuilt the key/value store from scratch to take better advantage of modern hardware based on the work done at Google.

There are two new versions of Valkey out which have a number of bug fixes including two CVEs. If you are running Valkey in production, please check to see if you need to upgrade! Valkey 8.0.2: github.com/valkey-io/va... Valkey 7.2.8: github.com/valkey-io/va...

People keep telling me that Valkey should deprecate 32bit, but then we wouldn't have this delightful version of Valkey that runs entirely in your browser with a CLI! zarkash-aws.github.io/try-valkey.g... It's the 32bit version of valkey running ontop of the v86 emulator. More features coming soon!

The Valkey community is hard at work developing a high performance vector similarity search implementation, and we're looking for folks interested in providing high level API and directional feedback here: github.com/valkey-io/va.... They'll be a more concrete implementation soon once we're aligned.

Do you use my Redis rust crate? In particular do you use it with Valkey? Redis Inc. came knocking and I'm not sure what should be done here. I opened a GitHub issue if you have input. github.com/redis-rs/red...

Amazon ElastiCache now supports Valkey 8.0, aws.amazon.com/blogs/databa.... This is the first release with software that was developed by the new Valkey project, which includes a wide variety of improvements, from performance to memory efficiency. I have two specific anecdotes to share about it. 🧵

only learned today that my favorite kv store transitioned and her name is valkey now... trans is beautiful... 🏳️‍⚧️
