Spring Data module for Valkey

[deepakraghav0]

Due to recent changes in the Redis licensing model, AWS ElastiCache will no longer provide the option to select Redis OSS starting from version 7.1 (with version 7.2 not available). Instead, AWS is promoting Valkey as the preferred backend engine.

Currently, we are using spring-boot-starter-data-redis-reactive as our client library, and everything is functioning as expected. However, I am uncertain whether future versions of Valkey will continue to be supported by Spring Data Redis.

My question is: Is there a roadmap for integrating Spring Data Redis with Valkey? Will there be a dedicated module for a Valkey client integrated with Spring Boot?

Is there a roadmap for integrating Spring Data Redis with Valkey

We're testing against Valkey on a best-effort basis assuming the same set of commands between each variant. We do not target building a specific Valkey module (see also #3039). It would be best if the community interested in Valkey would start building such a module. Happy to provide guidance.
