It is based on an old version of Redis, but includes some potential performance improvements. Some Linux distros have shifted to using KeyDB in the wake of [[Redis]]'s betrayal of open source. In the year since the redis-pocalypse, there has been little to no additional development. Presumably, their efforts have been going towards [[Valkey]] instead. # Platform Support # Features # Tips # References - https://docs.keydb.dev/news/2022/05/12/keydb-joins-snap/
