In-memory data store for caching, queues, and real-time apps
Redis keeps data in memory so reads and writes happen in microseconds, making it the go-to for caching, sessions, leaderboards, and job queues. Redis started as a simple key-value cache but evolved into a Swiss Army knife.
Open source Redis fork maintained by Linux Foundation
Valkey is the Linux Foundation fork of Redis that stays truly open source. It's Redis, maintained by the community, with the same commands, the same data structures, and the same performance.
Modern Redis/Memcached replacement
Dozzle streams Docker container logs in real time through a web interface, with no agents to install and no database to maintain. It's a Redis-compatible in-memory data store rewritten in C++ with a multi-threaded architecture.
High-performance remote cache-store
Your existing Redis clients work with it out of the box. Free and open source under MIT.
Multi-threaded Redis fork with active replication
Same commands, same protocol, significantly more throughput. KeyDB is fully free and open source under BSD-3.
Including when one of these alternatives ships a major update. Free.
