pipy VS Redis

Pipy is an open-source, lightweight, high-performance, modular, programmable, cloud-native network stream processor that is ideal for a variety of use cases ranging from (but not limited to) edge routers, load balancers & proxy solutions, API gateways, static HTTP servers, service mesh sidecars, and other applications. Previously we have covered several use cases, and in this blog post will continue our learning of Pipy by implementing an HTTP Tunnel functionality by only using the PipyJS scripting language.

But as the complexity of your apps and architecture grows, you might require more fine–grain control over your services. And if your organization requires Zero Trust and has a need for end–to–end encryption like mTLS, you should consider a service mesh like osm-edge a light weight, ultra fast, low resources, highly extensible, Service Mesh Interface (SMI) compatible, built for edge and cloud computing service mesh. When you have communication between services (east–west traffic), a service mesh allows you to control traffic at that level.

Below we list the most remarkable changes in the Core API and PipyJS. For a detailed change log, refer to Pipy Release Page

Flomesh Service Mesh(FSM) from Flomesh is Kubernetes North-South traffic manager, provides Ingress controllers, Gateway API, Load Balancer, and cross-cluster service registration and service discovery. FSM uses Pipy - a programmable network proxy, as its data plane and is suitable for cloud, edge, and IoT.

FSM is another open-source product from Flomesh for Kubernetes north-south traffic, gateway api contoller, and multi-cluster management. FSM uses Pipy, a programmable proxy at its core, and provides an Ingress controller, Gateway API controller, load balancer, cross-cluster service registration discovery, and more.

osm-edge is built on top of Open Service Mesh (OSM) v1.1.0 codebase and is a lightweight service mesh for resource-sensitive cloud environments and edge computing scenarios. It uses osm as the control plane and Pipy as the data plane and features high performance, low resources, simplicity, ease of use, scalability, and compatibility (x86/arm64 support).

We're very happy to announce the release of osm-edge 1.1. This release is the culmination of months of effort from the flomesh.io team and we are very excited to unveil it today. osm-edge is built on top of Open Service Mesh v1.1.0 codebase and is built purposely for edge computing and uses lightweight, high-performant, cloud native, and programmable proxy Pipy as its data plane and sidecar proxy.

One of the challenges Redis labs here have is that there's very little reason for their userbase to stay loyal to them.

antirez retired from Redis development a few years ago.

From https://github.com/redis/redis/graphs/contributors it looks like activity since he left has been mostly from people who didn't overlap with him much.

Redis Labs have not shown themselves to be outstanding stewards of the project as far as I can tell. Why shouldn't people support the fork?
