Why Switch to Valkey?

The performance you love, without the licensing uncertainty.

BSD · Linux Foundation

License Stability

When Redis re-licensed in 2024, the original maintainers, AWS, Google and Oracle forked the project. Valkey is the result — permanently BSD-licensed and governed by the Linux Foundation.
