For those continuing to make use of the open-source Redis in-memory, key-value database rather than some of the new open-source forks such as Valkey, the first milestone release of Redis 8.0 Community Edition is now available for testing.

Redis 8.0 Community Edition is introducing new data structures including for JSON, time series, and five probabilistic data structures that were previously available as separate Redis modules. Redis 8.0 is also incorporating the Redis scalable query engine with support for vector search.

The big change of Redis 8.0 is the new JSON, Time series, Bloom filter, Cuckoo filter, Count-min sketch, Top-k, and t-digestc data structures. Plus the Redis scalable query engine and a number of bug fixes and various other smaller changes. There is also a number of performance optimizations throughout for better efficiency and lower resource usage. Redis Stack is also being deprecated by the time of the Redis 8.0 GA release.

Redis 8.0 Community Edition Milestone 1 is just the first non-feature-complete, pre-release for this key-value database. Those wanting to test out Redis 8.0 M1 can find the code via [1]GitHub . The Redis 8.0 code remains under a dual-license model with the Redis Source Available License and Server Side Public License v1.
