Redis has returned to open source with the launch of Redis 8, now available under the AGPLv3 license, following a controversial detour with the SSPL.
The company acknowledges that the SSPL decision strained its relationship with the open-source community.
Redis 8 integrates Redis Community Edition and Redis Stack, offering advanced features like JSON, time series, and probabilistic data structures.
Performance enhancements in Redis 8 include lower latency, increased throughput, and more query processing power, aiming to simplify adoption and provide a consistent experience for developers.
