The Fastest Redis Ever

Redis has announced the release of Redis 8.0-M02, the latest milestone in its development, which is touted as the fastest version yet. This update introduces significant performance enhancements, including reduced latency for commonly used commands, with reductions of up to 36% for ZADD and 28% for SMEMBERS compared to the previous version, Redis 7.2.5. The Community Edition now includes features previously exclusive to Redis Cloud and Redis Software, allowing for both vertical and horizontal scaling of the Redis Query Engine. This enables users to manage larger datasets and improve read/write throughput. The update also showcases Redis's capabilities in handling vector searches, demonstrated through a benchmark involving one billion 768-dimensional vectors, achieving high precision and real-time indexing. Redis 8.0-M02 is available for download as an Alpine or Debian Docker image, with plans for further enhancements in future releases. Overall, the majority of Redis users are expected to experience substantial performance improvements.
