As someone that’s a major fan of the AGPL-3.0 license, even I have a hard time believing that this would bring people back to Redis.
It’s an upward battle from here on because they were the ones who chose to demolish their customer’s trust.
Serious question- what do you use instead? Memcached is rock solid but has only like 5% of Redis’ feature set.
I think most people switched to Valkey which is a Redis fork:
I don’t use Redis or any alternative to be honest.
If I were pressed to choose; I’d honestly consider choosing Redis as the new AGPL-3.0 license is actually impossible to revert if development continues.
Do they expect people, but more importantly organizations and companies, trusting them again? Why would they use Redis over the independent fork Valkey?
Support for one. Very often you need 24/7 support with an SLA for every part of the stack.
Maybe features? Not familiar with them, but often happens that enterprise features are behind an enterprise license. Stuff like LDAP integration, encryption with KMIP management, Kerberos, etc.
Third, management tooling. Monitoring, optimization, backups, debugging, what have you.
Most of the lemmy audience skews to Libre Software, but enterprise land doesn’t care about all of the reasons listed in this thread, they were on the commercial license to begin with.
I’m working to move what I have to Valkey, no more rugpull games tyvm.
Nah, redis is dead to most devs, the forks are far more popular with indie devs now.
We did it Redis!!!
