Two Years of Valkey
Summary
RedMonk analyzes Valkey's two-year trajectory since forking Redis amidst licensing shifts, comparing commit velocity, active contributors, and organizational diversity. The data suggests Valkey maintains sustainable development momentum driven by a diverse backer base, challenging typical fork decline narratives. The piece also cautions that commit data alone does not indicate market traction and discusses licensing histories (RSALv2, SSPL, AGPL) and governance implications.
