  • Sidekiq

    Simple, efficient background processing for Ruby

    There's something wrong at Redislabs, it took them over a year to get RESP3 rolled out into their hosted service, you'd expect a rollout of that to be a bit quicker when they're the owner of Redis.

    It affected us when upgrading Sidekiq to version 7, which dropped support for older Redis, and their Envoy proxy setup didn't support HELLO and RESP3: https://github.com/sidekiq/sidekiq/issues/5594

  • 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.

    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?

  • vulhub

    Pre-Built Vulnerable Environments Based on Docker-Compose

    This is pretty materially not fine:

  • valkey

    A flexible distributed key-value datastore that supports both caching and beyond caching workloads.

    Changelog line items is probably a better measure (assuming the line items are aligned to features and bugfixes and not just a list of PRs) https://github.com/valkey-io/valkey/releases

    Maybe version number/release cadence is also helpful.

NOTE: The number of mentions on this list indicates mentions on common posts plus user suggested alternatives. Hence, a higher number means a more popular project.
