Future support of Redis or other BSD license alternatives?

[thanh17]

Describe the problem
With the recent changes in redis/redis#13157, what will the future of redis_exporter support look like?

Will this come in the form of transitioning to other forked version of redis like Valkey?

What version of redis_exporter are you running?
Please run redis_exporter --version if you're not sure what version you're running.
[X] 1.x.x

Thanks for opening this issue.

Not sure how ioredis relates to all of this (copy-paste mistake?) but the exporter works on the redis protocol and as long as Redis continues to maintain backwards-compatibility with with ValKey then we should be fine.

That said, I should add something to the README that the exporter works with ValKey.

IMO the exporter should continue to support a broad set of Redis-like systems (it already does, see support for KeyDB, Tile38, etc) so we'll try to cover as much as Redis and ValKey and other functionality as possible.

Yes, meant to say redis_exporter...Will look at support for KeyDB as reference, thank you!
