Get started
Run with Docker
docker run -d -p 6379:6379 valkey/valkeyWhat it is
Valkey is an in-memory data store used as a cache, message broker and fast database. It began as a fork of Redis 7.2 after Redis changed its licence.
Why it stands out
It keeps the permissive BSD licence and is backed by several large cloud providers, which has made it the default managed “Redis” on many platforms.
Who it is for
Teams who want Redis compatibility with open source licensing.
