The issues around the transaction ids and process per connection are well known, but the changes to the codebase to fix them would either constitute a backwards incompatible change that would change storage needs or an incredibly large rewrite of the codebase that breaks with decades of assumptions.
The json issue is a lot less of a problem as that’s net new. But some of these changes have been debated for years with no movement (and no lack of willing developers to tackle it) and at some point a fork or rewrite like this will happen. In my mind, all LLMs have done is made this work easier to do. If you have reservations about LLM’s doing this kind of work, no one is forcing you to use it, and I think it shows the utility of LLMs in that these kinds of things now can exist.
Airs are good for the general use case but some development (rust, C++) really eat cores and memory like nothing else.
The 2 main ones are:
Valkey - run by most of the large corporations (AWS, Google, Microsoft, Alibaba, etc.) that used to have developers assigned to the Redis project doing Open source work and they just run this fork now
Redict - Another fork that seems to have quite a bit of engineers behind it
