    LuaJIT is mostly compatible with 5.1, our goal is to make it pluggable so you can run with either 5.4 or 5.1.

    Seems similar in impact to https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/cve-2021-32626 , I wonder why this has a CVE 10. This code also looks generally fixed in Lua5.4, https://github.com/lua/…

    Google is well known for having banned AGPL ( https://opensource.google/documentation/reference/thirdparty... ).

    The tl;dr is it's just a lockless hashmap attached to a TCP server with a log. Simple Get/Set operations are highly optimized, so with high batching they are able to efficiently fe…

    My guess is they are making it up. AWS has no public information, but there are some high profile customers that have migrated https://aws.amazon.com/elasticache/customers/ .

    Do you have data to back up your claims? I see a lot of customer claims for Valkey here, https://aws.amazon.com/elasticache/customers/ . Neither of the AWS or GCP offerings are in …

    The Valkey implementation of multi-threading is fundamentally different than what existed in Redis. The history dates back to work done in ElastiCache that was released as "Enhance…

    It's not just a fork, there have been two releases on Valkey that improved performance and memory efficiency. There is a lie that Redis likes to spread that only their own employee…

    Yeah, there has been a lot of stuff like performance [1] and efficiency improvements [2]. A lot of the contributors, that didn't work for Redis labs but worked on Redis OSS before …

    Everything we do is open-source, so you're free to take it and incorporate it back into Redis. (Although I'm more into rewriting the data structures to more efficient on modern CPU…

    As one of those 12 other people, number of commits is not a good metric in this context. When you have a single maintainer, like antirez was for a long time, he could commit 10+ co…

    I know this doesn't mean much, but I spent a lot of time outside of work helping to maintain the Redis codebase. I attended our meetings and responded to issues on vacation because…

    The only public record I've seen him talking about it was in https://github.com/valkey-io/valkey/issues/544 , where he mentioned having sold the copyright.

    There is a lot of adoption of Valkey. I know it's fun to hate on AWS, but there is a wider shift than just them. https://cloud.google.com/blog/products/databases/announcing-... htt…

    It was always, and still is, a license issue. Redis stack had a proprietary license and now Redis has a proprietary license.

    You might be able to get near 100% of Redis performance without a lot of tuning. Redis has a lot of overhead to make it a production ready system like performance counters, safety …
