Today we released an open, Valkey-native context layer for AI agents as part of our packages at BetterDB (agent memory, semantic + multi-tier caching, typed retrieval) that run on …

The weekend of last week I built chat.betterdb.com as a RAG over Valkey/Redis/Dragonfly docs. The goal was to eat our own dogfood and test publicly our caching libraries. It also s…

Exact match, word for word. agent-cache takes everything that defines an LLM request - which model you're calling (gpt-4o, Claude, etc.), the full conversation history (system prom…

It caches AI agent operations in Valkey (or Redis) so you don't repeat expensive work. Three tiers: if your agent calls gpt-4o with the same prompt twice, the second call returns f…

Multi-tier exact-match cache for AI agents backed by Valkey or Redis. LLM responses, tool results, and session state behind one connection. Framework adapters for LangChain, LangGr…

I completely understand your point and have had similar feelings when I've applied to previous companies. There are 2 points I can make to try and make it make sense (a lot of make…

The simplest approach is the best in 90%+ of the cases!

Thank you!

That's exactly the bet we're making. The Redis/Valkey ecosystem has enough sprawl - a tool that does one thing well and stays out of the way is what we'd want to use ourselves.

I built this after a year at Redis as an engineering manager for their developer tools, watching the ecosystem fragment after the license change. Redis 7.4 broke data file compatib…

Every semantic cache library - RedisVL, LangChain, LiteLLM - targets Redis and assumes RediSearch wire compatibility. Point any of them at Valkey Search 1.2 and they break silently…

Thank you, I'll keep that in mind! That's one thing I like in OSS projects, people share their pain points freely. Also, that's why I organize things into projects inside Claude (n…

I wanted to explore Valkey's vector search capabilities for AI workloads and had been looking for an excuse to build something with Bun. This weekend I combined both into a memory …

If your Valkey or Redis instance runs in a private network whether self-managed on EC2, in a Docker Compose stack, or on a managed service getting monitoring data out is annoying. …
