The #BSDCafe #Mastodon instances are now using #Valkey as "redis" servers.
This because the upcoming v4.5.0 will need at least #Redis 7, while KeyDB was supporting the 6.x feature set.

A look at #MySQL vs #PostgreSQL, #Redis vs #valkey, #MongoDB vs #DocumentDB. Mostly about open source licensing and the impact it has on the ecosystem.

A couple of years back, a bunch of projects started switching to proprietary Source Available licenses like #SSPL. I predicted that they would soon regret it, as they started to be replaced with forks of their own software. Feeling pretty smug reading this ...

"Redis bets big on an open source return

The company is hopeful that changing its license will allow it to better compete with the Valkey fork."

Simple tech stacks are great for resilient and maintainable systems. Why reach for #Valkey / #Redis when you can avoid introducing another dependency by implementing caching with #SQLite triggers?

This was a fun #WebDev experiment and made me even more impressed with how capable this database is for mid-sized websites and apps.

What's your favourite example of #Minimalist#Tech?

And I’m off to #OpenSource Summit in #Amsterdam.

I’ll have a few days to acclimate then, first up is the #Valkey Contributor Summjt on Sunday, then the summit Mon-Wed and finally Valkey Keyspace on Thursday (tickets still available!)
