I don’t use Redis or any alternative to be honest.
If I were pressed to choose; I’d honestly consider choosing Redis as the new AGPL-3.0 license is actually impossible to revert if development continues.
It’s the usual combination of AGPL + CLA, they’re allowed to relicense to any license of their choice at any moment. They’ve had the CLA in place since the previous SSPL license and the more-previous BSD license naturally allows that kind of stuff.
As someone that’s a major fan of the AGPL-3.0 license, even I have a hard time believing that this would bring people back to Redis.
It’s an upward battle from here on because they were the ones who chose to demolish their customer’s trust.
Serious question- what do you use instead? Memcached is rock solid but has only like 5% of Redis’ feature set.
I think most people switched to Valkey which is a Redis fork:

Thanks for the info!!
I switched to keydb years ago, also a redis fork.

Valkey is already better
