Valkey 9.0, the open-source, enterprise-ready in-memory data store forked from Redis, is scheduled for release on September 15, 2025. Governed by the Linux Foundation and released under a BSD license, Valkey 9.0 introduces significant production-grade features aimed at operational safety, security, and network resilience.
Key enhancements in this release include a safe shutdown mode, unified auto-failover configuration, native TLS client authentication for improved security, and MultiPath TCP support for reliable replication across networks. These updates position Valkey 9.0 as a robust and scalable solution for enterprise deployments, particularly in regulated industries, while maintaining the transparency and flexibility of open source.
