More Companies Now Backing Valkey As Leading Redis Fork

([Free Software] 85 Minutes Ago Valkey)


Announced back in March by the Linux Foundation was [1]Valkey as a Redis fork following upstream licensing changes. In the few months since the Valkey in-memory NoSQL data store has [2]put out its first release and has continued attracting [3]more interest from Linux/open-source communities . Today the Linux Foundation announced another handful of organizations now throwing their weight behind Valkey.

The Linux Foundation announced today the newest member organizations for Valkey are: Ampere, AlmaLinux OS Foundation, Broadcom, DigitalOcean, Memurai, and Instaclustr by NetApp.

These six additional companies join the existing Valkey memory companies including Aiven, Alibaba Cloud, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Canonical, Chainguard, Ericsson, Heroku, Huawei, Google Cloud, Oracle, Percona, Snap Inc and Verizon.

Today's [4]press release also talks up the next Valkey release coming with I/O performance optimizations, greater reliability, cluster stability, dual channel replication, and performance-optimized default values. That release will be out later this summer.

I've said some stupid things and some wrong things, but not that. No one
involved in computers would ever say that a certain amount of memory is enough
for all time ... I keep bumping into that silly quotation attributed to me that
says 640 K of memory is enough. There's never a citation; the quotation just
floats like a rumor, repeated again and again.

Do you realize the pain the industry went through while the IBM PC was limited
to 640 K? The machine was going to be 512 K at one point, and we kept pushing
it up. I never said that statement - I said the opposite of that.

I have to say that in 1981, making those decisions, I felt like I was providing
enough freedom for 10 years. That is, a move from 64k to 640k felt like
something that would last a great deal of time. Well, it didnīt - it took about
only 6 years before people started to see that as a real problem.
