Ah, that's a shame. There are other alternatives available, but hopefully another group decides to fork the current codebase and keep it open - something to keep an eye on.
Memcached; etc there’s plenty of alternatives.
We'll be adding official support for alternative object caches soon. For now it's fine to keep using Redis; the new licence will only affect subsequent releases.

+1 for Memcached
Interesting to implement Object cache With Memcached, WordPress VIP oficial uses it in environment.
Yes, Memcached will be good. LiteSpeed even has LiteSpeed Memcached: https://www.litespeedtech.com/open-source/litespeed-memcached
prasad0889 I've come across this a few times but never got to the point of testing it. I'm not sure which object cache @Adam was referring to above. I don't see anything specific on the roadmap.
I'm sure forks are already being worked on.
This one seem to have quite a bit of traction: https://github.com/placeholderkv/placeholderkv
WebInfra This one seem to have quite a bit of traction: https://github.com/placeholderkv/placeholderkv
As an update, the project has been renamed to Valkey and it has the backing of major organizations including the Linux Foundation, AWS, Google and Oracle: https://www.linuxfoundation.org/press/linux-foundation-launches-open-source-valkey-community
Valkey will very likely be the future of Redis as it has the backing of most of the previous contributors to Redis alongside these large players.
It seems to me that KeyDB might be a better solution than Memcached. More information: https://docs.keydb.dev/ I've initiated a topic with a suggestion: https://community.enhance.com/d/1403-keydb-the-faster-redis-alternative
I recommend reading the article below carefully for more information on the subject.

riopardo What have you found from this?
The main point I see is, that hosting companies are no longer allowed to use new releases of Redis for free.
+1 Memcache
KEYDB and Dragonfly might be the most potent solution. Memcached might be also fine and is mainly preferred because of SASL in classic shared environments.
WebInfra +1 for Valkey then.

It looks like Valkey is developing very quickly and this will probably be the best alternative. https://valkey.io/blog/update/2024/04/valkey-7-2-5-out/
@Adam do you have a position on this?
For me personally, the best alternative to Redis is KeyDB.
