I am thinking the same that going to AGPL may actually push more people to Valke...

Yeah, there has been a lot of stuff like performance [1] and efficiency improvements [2]. A lot of the contributors, that didn't work for Redis labs but worked on Redis OSS before the fork, moved to Valkey and they continued to contribute.

Well Valkey has more commits to their repository then Redis does, and more contributors. So it appears to be active.

In fact, some of Redis 8’s new features were taken from Valkey source code.

Lol feels a little hypocritical to complain about proprietary clouds, then take open source software from a competitor and embed it into your own

Is that why they're AGPL now?

Valkey has RDMA support, which offers significant performance improvements.
