From this post on the Redis blog https://redis.io/blog/agplv3/ it looks like they've made a bunch of new features available under the new AGPL license too:
> Integrating Redis Stack technologies, including JSON, Time Series, probabilistic data types, Redis Query Engine and more into core Redis 8 under AGPL
Redis Query Engine is new-to-me (I stopped following Redis closely after the license change) - it looks like an in-memory alternative to a lot of the things you might do with Elasticsearch: https://redis.io/docs/latest/develop/interact/search-and-que...
(This is a smart move in terms of answering the question "Why would I switch back to Redis if I've moved to Valkey" - Redis just grew a bunch of new interesting features.)
Dismayingly, the CEO misspelled antirez's last name in this press release, https://redis.io/blog/agplv3/. That's so incredibly disrespectful:
> Following our license change, in November of 2024 Salvatore Sanfillipo (antirez) decided to rejoin Redis as a developer evangelist. Collaborating with Salvatore on new capabilities, company strategy and community engagement has been a true privilege that has made a major impact that will pay dividends into the future.
If it's a true privilege, you should earn it by not misspelling his name. Actions speak louder than words.
Pink Floyd has a song about this:
Well, I've always had a deep respect and I mean that most sincere
The band is just fantastic, that is really what I think
Oh, by the way, which one's Pink?
And did we tell you the name of the game, boy?
We call it riding the gravy train
We're just knocked out, we heard about the sell-out
You gotta get an album out, you owe it to the people
We're so happy we can hardly count
Everybody else is just green, have you seen the chart?
It's a hell of a start, it could be made into a monster

With syntax that looks something like this:
