Redka is an open-source database that implements Redis commands on top of SQLite, providing Redis API compatibility with built-in persistence. It offers zero-configuration setup, ACID compliance, and lightweight deployment while maintaining compatibility with existing Redis clients. The project is ideal for development environments, small to medium applications, edge computing, and embedded systems where Redis functionality is needed with guaranteed data persistence.

Valkey 9.0 has been released, marking a major milestone for the Linux Foundation-backed Redis fork. The new version introduces significant performance improvements, with the capability to handle up to one billion requests per second. This key-value database continues to evolve as a popular alternative in the data storage ecosystem.
