  • Feature Comparison: Reliable Queue vs. Valkey and Redis Stream
    3 projects | dev.to | 15 May 2025
    Valkey and Redis streams are data structures that act like append-only logs with some added features. Redisson PRO, the Valkey and Redis client for Java developers, improves on this concept with its Reliable Queue feature.
  • Redis is open source again
    17 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 1 May 2025
    Well Valkey has more commits to their repository then Redis does, and more contributors. So it appears to be active.

    I am confused because:

    - Valkey [0] is a project of the Linux Foundation

    - CNCF is part of the Linux Foundation

    - The CNCF landscape includes Redis [1] but not Valkey

    Do someone understand the logic?

    Original license of Redis is retained in the form Valkey:

    Third party licenses retained in a THIRDPARTY file in MariaDB

    https://github.com/MariaDB/server/blob/main/THIRDPARTY

    Only two good examples I could quickly find.

    For the sake of this article, we’ll focus on scaling the transformation part of the ETL application. We’ll use an Amazon SQS (Simple Queue Service) queue as the ingestion layer and a simple Valkey Channel (deployed to the Kubernetes cluster) as the target system.
