Microsoft introduced an almost drop in replacement 3 days ago[1]. It is claimed to work with most Redis clients. I believe this will change things quite a bit a least for Azure users.

There are many drop in replacements (we use keydb), but, depending on the features you use, there are a lot of api compatible (but sometimes lacking features) compatible drop ins. We migrated of a large redis cluster overnight; 0 software changes.

Came here to plug KeyDB. Really cool project.

Looks neat, but probably only for internal MSFT usage.

For what it's worth... Microsoft was quoted in the Redis press release as a cloud provider that has partnered officially with Redis under this new licensing scheme.

What only for MSFT usage? It looks like it's MIT licensed and.. Written in C# which is very interesting.

Here's Microsoft's blog post on the topic of Redis relicensing btw:
