History of Valkey

+ +Valkey is an open source fork of Redis, created in March 2023 after Redis announced a change to a more restrictive license. The project was initiated by Madelyn Olson, a former Redis core maintainer from AWS, along with other Redis contributors who disagreed with the license change. Valkey quickly gained support from major tech companies such as AWS, Google, Oracle, Ericsson, and Snap, with the Linux Foundation providing a new home for the fork to maintain the original open source license. Despite the emergence of other Redis alternatives and forks, Valkey has gained significant traction due to its strong backing from cloud companies that rely heavily on Redis for their services, making it the most promising option for the near future.

This initiative was led by Madelyn Olson, a notable figure in the Redis community and a former core maintainer at AWS, along with other contributors who sought to preserve the original open source ethos of Redis. The transition garnered substantial backing from leading tech corporations including AWS, Google, Oracle, Ericsson, and Snap, with the Linux Foundation stepping in to provide a stable platform for this new direction. Amidst the landscape of Redis alternatives, Valkey stands out with strong support from cloud services providers, positioning it as a promising solution for future open source database needs.
