Well, we've finally packaged #Valkey (another #Redis fork) in #Gentoo, along with its #Python bindings.

Not that we wanted to, but #FakeRedis now started requiring it for tests so heavily that it was too much effort to patch it out. Just to be clear, it just requires the Python bindings, because its test suite happily runs against either Redis or Valkey, and literally doesn't support testing against both simultaneously. But to add the bindings, we needed the database to test them against. And since I've added the package too, I've put a lot of effort (and swearing) to test FakeRedis against both servers.

Should you be using Valkey? Well, let's put it like this. You shouldn't be using Redis, because it's enterprise quality shit. Valkey is roughly what happens when you fork enterprise quality shit and have no clue what you're doing. Though you are able to mostly get renaming right (one valkey-py test failed over the server calling itself "Valkey" rather than "Redis").

Disclaimer: I've only looked at the Python bindings. Maybe the maintainers are more knowledgeable with the server itself.

Meet the Percona Community team

We’ve just landed on X and Mastodon, and before the first real post goes out, we wanted to do something we don’t do often enough: introduce ourselves. If you’ve been to Percona Live, a Percona.connect, a PGConf, KubeCon, FOSDEM, or pretty much any open source database event in the past few years, you’ve probably already met one of us. We’re the people behind the booth, on stage, organising the speakers, herding the giant Jenga set, or trying to convince you to play a quick game of chess between sessions. Now we’re also the people behind @PerconaCommunity on X and our new Mastodon account on the fediverse.

Arrived in the Bay Area for Percona Live. I’ve got a keynote and a talk scheduled related to #Valkey.

Let me know if you want a ticket!

Il n'y a que ceux qui ne font rien qui ne font pas d'erreurs. Aujourd'hui, nouvel article de blog qui vient corriger les erreurs que j'ai pu faire dans un article précédent.

Allez, c'est reparti pour définitivement enterrer #Redis, #Valkey, etc. afin de se concentrer sur #PostgreSQL.

PostgreSQL pour remplacer Redis, version optimisée

Il y a quelques temps j’ai posté un premier article sur le remplacement de Redis par PostgreSQL qui, s’il est toujours intéressant, n’est malheureusement pas très optimisé. En effet, j’ai fait quelques erreurs et, plutôt que de corriger l’article précédent, j’ai préféré le conserver afin de faire un nouvel article dédié à la correction de ces erreurs.

Valkey: Valkey 9.1 delivers improvements in security, performance, and more

The Valkey community is excited to announce Valkey version 9.1. This latest release includes new functionality and improvements for security, observability, performance, efficiency, and tooling from over eighty contributors. Let's take a look at a few of the highlights in this release.

يقدم إصدار Valkey 9.1 تحسينات مهمة، أبرزها توفير ضوابط وصول دقيقة على مستوى قاعدة البيانات لتمكين صلاحيات مستخدمين أكثر تفصيلاً في الإعدادات متعددة المستأجرين. كما تم نقل برمجة Lua النصية إلى وحدة منفصلة، مما يقلل من التعرض الأمني ويسمح بتعطيلها عند عدم الحاجة. وتشمل تحسينات الأداء نموذجاً جديداً لترابط الإدخال/الإخراج يزيد الإنتاجية بنسبة تصل إلى 17%، ويسرّع عمليات التدفق والمجموعات المرتبة، ويخفض استهلاك الذاكرة للسلاسل الصغيرة والمجموعات المرتبة.

Manually Migrate Hash Slots in a Valkey/Redis Cluster

This article explains how to manually migrate hash slots in Valkey/Redis clusters to expand your deployment with minimal disruption to availability. Note: Valkey 9.0 introduces the Atomic Slot Migration (ASM) feature, which significantly improves migration speed (up to 9.52 times faster) and reliability, while reducing migration complexity. So you should use ASM instead if you … Continued
