Description

Valkey is an open source (BSD) high-performance key/value datastore that supports a variety of workloads such as caching, message queues, and can act as a primary database.

Valkey was forked from the open source Redis project right before the transition to their new source available licenses.

Does the requested package meet the package requirements?

System, Compiled, Required

Is the requested package released?

Yes

I intend to use it as a persistent cache for Unbound, as it should function as a drop-in replacement for Redis through the hiredis C API. The closed Unbound issue, Valkey's hiredis

I confirmed that Valkey 7.2.5 compiles and passes its tests on my Void x86_64 musl installation.

I agreed, we need an alternative for Redis. Valkey and keydb are both good candidates. Valkey seems to be more popular if I check Google trends.
