As the latest (and future) releases of Redis are no longer open source, users who want to keep their data running on top of open source software face a choice: keep running on legacy Redis OSS, or upgrade to one of the more recent forks that the open source community has created.

Memetria will support both options.

We have been running builds of Valkey since that project was first announced as a fork created from the last open source release of Redis. The work already put into this project, and its forward momentum, are impressive.

Valkey 7.2 offers a clean, backwards-compatible upgrade path for users of Redis OSS to continue using the clients and features they enjoy while keeping a regular cadence of community-driven updates.

This upgrade path is now the main one supported by Memetria. All customers on our 7.2 branch are being seamlessly transitioned from data stores running Redis OSS 7.2 to Valkey 7.2 to ensure the latest security patches and bugfixes can be applied. Upgrades from earlier versions of Redis OSS are also supported.

We look forward to supporting similar zero-downtime upgrades to some of the exciting new features of Valkey soon.

Two new versions of open source Redis landed recently. 7.2.4 and 7.0.15 are security and bugfix releases only.

Memetria hosted databases on the 7.2 and 7.0 branches are being updated to the latest versions during their regular automated maintenance periods.

Congratulations to the Redis community on the launch of Redis 7.2!

A few highlights:

• WITHSCORE is a new option for ZRANK and ZREVRANK
• Many memory optimizations and improvements
• Deprecates the QUIT command

Redis 7.2 is supported on the Memetria platform. You can build new data stores using this version, or upgrade any Redis 7.0 database with no downtime.

Two new versions of open source Redis landed recently. 7.0.6 includes a number of performance improvements fixing minor regressions and improving ZADD and some Lua script performance.

Memetria hosted databases on the 7.0 and 6.2 branches are being updated to the latest versions during their regular automated maintenance periods.

We rolled out patches to Memetria databases running the 7.0 branch of Redis. All of the security fixes in this release were already applied to Memetria databases. The other minor changes will be applied during regular automated maintenance periods.

Today we're introducing Memetria: a new name for our services that fits our current products and our goals for the future.

We are proud of the high-performance, dev-friendly services that we have built over more than a decade since RedisGreen first launched. All of those services will continue under the Memetria name.

A few things changed today:

• Our web site and customer dashboard have a new domain name.
• Our service communications going forward will be sent from memetria.com and you can reach our team at support@memetria.com.
• We updated our Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, and End User License Agreement to reflect the new name, and to underscore our commitment to data privacy with an automatic Data Protection Agreement (DPA).

Our company, team, and commitment to customers remain the same.

Our focus is on the future of lightweight, high-performance data systems. Memetria will continue to help developers harness the power of the best of those systems, including Redis!

We're looking forward to another ten years, and can't wait to see what you build next.

Redis 7.0.4, a security patch, is out for all 7.0 databases.

Redis 7.0.3, a minor patch release, is available now.

This release contains a number of small fixes and improvements. All RedisGreen servers on the 7.0 release branch will be patched with this update during their next maintenance cycle.

Redis 7.0.2, a minor patch release, is available now.

The major change in this release is a fix to a problem from the initial release of 7.0, where the SET command was incorrectly marked as “movablekeys”, causing extra traffic for that command in cluster clients.

Since its release in late April we have seen increasing adoption of Redis 7.0 across our platform. It is now the default version for new RedisGreen databases, and our current recommendation.

If you’re running an older version on RedisGreen, upgrading is a zero-downtime process through the Settings menu.
