Part 6/9:
Performance-wise, Redis has long enjoyed a reputation for speed, with significantly high throughput. However, Valky isn't just a cheap alternative; it has undergone considerable updates, boasting new I/O threading features that allow it to handle over 1 million requests per second. For those needing premium support, Redis remains a commercial offering, while Valky has layered support options, particularly through partnerships with major cloud providers like AWS and Oracle.
Amazon's backing of Valky included reduced pricing compared to Redis, positioning it as an attractive option for those weighing their database solution choices. This financial incentive was pivotal, particularly after AWS had previously offered Redis as part of their service roster before the licensing shift.
