Redis 8.2 is now available, offering over 14 performance improvements, such as 35% faster commands and 49% higher throughput. Following a shift to a dual-licensing system, Valkey was forked from version 7.2. The new GNU AGPL license, approved by the Open Source Initiative, has replaced former licenses. Salvatore Sanfilippo's return to Redis has influenced its direction. Users of Redis 7.2 must decide between migrating to Valkey or upgrading. Redis 7.4 and 7.8 have limited support, impacting choice based on Linux distribution preferences.
Redis 8.2 introduces more than 14 new performance and efficiency improvements over Redis 8, including up to 35% faster commands and up to 49% higher throughput in operations per second.
The change of course at Redis came a few months after the original developer of Redis, Salvatore Sanfilippo, returned to the company he had left in 2020.
Organizations still using Redis 7.2 face a migration choice: switch to Valkey, or stay with Redis but upgrade to a new major version.
Redis 7.4 has about six months of support left, and Redis 7.8 will be supported until May 2027, but these versions are not strictly FOSS.
