FORK YEAH: VALKEY 9 SHARPENS EDGE AGAINST REDIS

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

Valkey, which was forked from Redis in April last year, is set to release its ninth iteration next month. The update promises improved resource optimization and availability. It will allow multiple logical databases in cluster mode, enabling developers to combine many different applications using the same cluster. Valkey 9 also promises unified auto-failover configuration for high availability, regardless of deployment choices, so clusters stay consistent from development to staging to production. It has a safe shutdown mode, so a shutdown command does not pull the plug on production without a deliberate, confirmed action.
