Valkey

Free alternative to: Redis

License: BSD-3

Free terms: Fully free, no paid edition, nothing feature-gated.

What it does

BSD-3-licensed Linux Foundation fork of Redis (7.2.4) — drop-in wire-compatible in-memory key-value store with multi-threaded I/O, clustering, and Lua scripting.

Heads-up: Created March 2024 after Redis Ltd. relicensed Redis to RSALv2/SSPL (non-OSI); Redis 8 is now tri-licensed RSALv2/SSPL/AGPL. Valkey is backed by AWS, Google, Oracle, Ericsson, and Snap — the community-governed, truly open path.
