The Linux Foundation has announced the general availability of Valkey 8.0, the open source in-memory storage solution developed as a successor to Redis. By introducing a dictionary per slot and embedding keys directly into dictionary entries, developers can achieve up to 20% more capacity, allowing for the storage of additional keys per node.

Yesterday, in San Francisco, OpenAI held a DevDay to introduce its new generative AI technologies to developers. And this week,

Valkey’s inaugural release delivers enhanced performance, reliability, and observability to all users.

The first ever release of Valkey, 7.2.5, became generally available more than 5 months ago. While the initial release was a milestone, it focused on compatibility and license continuity; bringing no new features to the table. Today marks a different milestone for the Valkey project: the first major release. Valkey 8.0.0 continues the traditions of the seven major versions of Redis that precede i [...]

Valkey 8.0.0 Release

In the first part of this blog, we described how we offloaded almost all I/O operations to I/O threads, thereby freeing more CPU cycles in the main thread to execute commands. When we profiled the execution of the main thread, we found that a considerable amount of time was spent waiting for external memory. This was not entirely surprising, as when accessing random keys, the probability of find [...]

A while back I wrote up a blog post on how to use Redis as a chat history component with LangChain. Since LangChain already had Redis chat history available as a component, it was quite convenient to write a client application.
