Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Redict is an independent, copyleft fork of Redis
https://github.com/dragonflydb/dragonfly is another option. Not a fork but API-compatible reimplementation.

Scaling Real-Time Leaderboards with Dragonfly
Our journey will involve leveraging the capabilities of Dragonfly, a highly efficient drop-in replacement for Redis, known for its ultra-high throughput and multi-threaded share-nothing architecture. Specifically, we'll be utilizing two of Dragonfly's data types: Sorted-Set and Hash. These data structures are perfect for handling real-time data and ranking systems, making them ideal for our leaderboards.

Announcing Dragonfly Search
2023 has been a year with remarkable advancements in AI capabilities, and at Dragonfly, we are thrilled to power new use cases with our latest release: Dragonfly Search. This new feature set, debuting in Dragonfly v1.13, is a subset of RediSearch-compatible commands implemented natively in Dragonfly, allowing for both vector search and faceted search use cases in the highly scalable and performant Dragonfly in-memory data store.
- Dragonfly v1.10.0

Dragonfly Cache Design
If you have not heard about Dragonfly - please check it out. It uses - what I hope - novel and interesting ideas backed up by the research from recent years [1] and [2]. It's meant to fix many problems that exist with Redis today. I have been working on Dragonfly for the last 7 months and it has been one of the more interesting and challenging projects I've ever done!

Generating Income from Open Source
I recently ran across the the license for Dragonfly [1] which has some restrictions (rights reserved), but 5 years after the license date the license switches to Apache 2.0. Basically a timed-limited rights reservation. I don't hate it. I might even contribute to such a project for free.
I would consider something like this: When I release code, it's rights reserved for 5 years, then open-source (and this baked into an irrevocable license). Anyone may use the software for non-commercial purposes. Anyone may contribute, those who contribute will be granted permission for commercial use if I deem their contributions significant enough. Anyone may distribute the software under these terms.
If such a model became popular, I have a hard time imagining it could make things any worse. It might even accelerate open-source development. You might say, "but it's not open-source", fair enough, but we can view it as open-source contribution with a delay. For example, if this model became wildely popular this year, and we saw great progress with this model, then come 2028 we would be flooded with new open-source software and ultimately might be better off than it would have been without this model.
(And this whole thing makes me rethink copyright and patents and how much they really contribute to society. Perhaps they should be shortened?)

Redis HA on k8s without Sentinel?
Maybe check out https://www.dragonflydb.io/ It claims to have a full redis implementation.
- Dragonfly is about 10x slower than Redis

Redis License Changed
https://github.com/dotnet/dotnet exists for source build that stitches together SDK, Roslyn, runtime and other dependencies. A lot of them can be built and used individually, which is what contributors usually do. For example, you can clone and build https://github.com/dotnet/runtime and use the produced artifacts to execute .NET assemblies or build .NET binaries.
- Is there anything inherently wrong with .net applications for self-hosting? (especially in terms of privacy)

Asp.net Core updates in .NET 8 Preview 1
https://github.com/dotnet/dotnet
In fact, the VMR ( linked above ) ONLY works on Linux at the moment with Windows and Mac support planned. So, .NET is Linux-first in some ways.
MAUI is not Linux first of course. The rest of it is becoming more and more Linux and container focussed though it seems.
What are some alternatives?
KeyDB - A Multithreaded Fork of Redis
skytable - Skytable is a modern scalable NoSQL database with BlueQL, designed for performance, scalability and flexibility. Skytable gives you spaces, models, data types, complex collections and more to build powerful experiences
Redis - Redis is an in-memory database that persists on disk. The data model is key-value, but many different kind of values are supported: Strings, Lists, Sets, Sorted Sets, Hashes, Streams, HyperLogLogs, Bitmaps.
Memcached - memcached development tree
Aerospike - Aerospike Database Server – flash-optimized, in-memory, nosql database
glommio - Glommio is a thread-per-core crate that makes writing highly parallel asynchronous applications in a thread-per-core architecture easier for rustaceans.
webdis - A Redis HTTP interface with JSON output
midi-redis - A toy memory store with great performance
cachegrand - cachegrand - a modern data ingestion, processing and serving platform built for today's hardware
neon - Neon: Serverless Postgres. We separated storage and compute to offer autoscaling, branching, and bottomless storage.
tarantool - Get your data in RAM. Get compute close to data. Enjoy the performance.
