Neo4j VS Redis

Neo4j: An ACID-compliant graph database with a high-performance distributed architecture. Ideal for complex relationship and pattern analysis in domains like social networks.

After spending millions fighting the committer of ONgDB who removed the commons clause from the AGPL branded license, it looks like the Free Software Foundation got involved and forced them to remove the commons clause or change the license to their own proprietary license.

The GenAI Stack came about through a collaboration between Docker, Neo4j, LangChain, and Ollama. The goal of the collaboration was to create a pre-built GenAI stack of best-in-class technologies that are well integrated, come with sample applications, and make it easy for developers to get up and running.

Neo4j (GraphQL)

NoSQL is a term that we have become very familiar with in recent times and it is used to describe a set of databases that don't make use of SQL when writing & composing queries. There are loads of different types of NoSQL databases ranging from key-value databases like the Reddis to document-oriented databases like MongoDB and Firestore to graph databases like Neo4J to multi-paradigm databases like FaunaDB and Cassandra.

this thread on this github issue could be useful.

Recently I have taken an interest in big data. https://neo4j.com/ , https://cassandra.apache.org/ , https://clickhouse.com/, https://www.elastic.co/ - are all databases I have experience with. Neo4j and Cassandra only as a hobby, but Clickhouse I have used in production, and Elasticsearch I have used for some 7 years now.

For organizations and their applications that are designed to detect fraud, like International Consortium of Investigative Journalists, or try to improve customer experience via personalization, as in the case of Tourism Media, a NoSQL graph database like Neo4j is a good match. In these kinds of use cases, the quantity of data we're dealing with is enormous, and the pattern we're searching for in the data is often complex.

First, you need to choose a specific graph database platform to work with, such as Neo4j, OrientDB, JanusGraph, Arangodb or Amazon Neptune. Once you have selected a platform, you can then start working with graph data using the platform's query language.

Redis - real time data storage with different data structures in a cache

Yeah, I think a key point is that Salvatore Sanfilippo, the original developer, maintainer and principle contributor[1] for 11 years, was not a founder of Redis Labs. He joined as an employee in 2015 but resigned in 2020. Perhaps he has equity in Redis Labs, but it's not clear he stands to profit at all from this switch.

Cache: a Redis cache

I'm curious about something: I suppose Salvatore still owns the copyright for most of the code? The old license does include his copyright, up to 2020: https://github.com/redis/redis/blob/7.2/COPYING So I think this change couldn't have been done without his explicit consent? Or did he transferred his rights to RedisLabs or a foundation?

Redis.io no longer mentions open source.

They have still not changed meta description on their page. It still says it is open source ^^

view-source:https://redis.io/

First they break lolwut (https://github.com/redis/redis/issues/12074) and now this.

See: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38841284

Redis Inc. is moving the https://github.com/redis/redis/ project away from the three part BSD license to a dual license using two non-OSI approved license. This comes after previous comment from them saying that "... the Redis core license, which is and will always be licensed under the 3-Clause- BSD".

> They get paid for it. Don't try to spin this as if it's someone people working on it in their spare time out of the goodness of their heart. It's just their job.

No, you can't have this both ways. I'm the main contributor from AWS, and I've worked many times on weekends because I care about open source. I like helping people, I don't need to be paid to do it. Many of the AWS folks that made changes were normal engineers that were excited to be part of Redis. https://github.com/redis/redis/pull/10419 and https://github.com/redis/redis/pull/8621 are both examples of features someone from AWS built in their free time. We're all upset about this. Not because Redis deserves to get paid, it's that they acted like they were being good stewards of the open-source community and then they changed their mind.
