Summary

The latest milestone of Redis 8.0 has been announced, with significant performance improvements and new features introduced. The release builds upon the previous milestones, adding new data structures, improving existing ones, and enhancing performance in both single-core and multi-core environments. A new asynchronous I/O threading implementation and an improved replication mechanism deliver better performance and robustness than any previous Redis release. Key improvements include latency reductions for various commands, increased throughput, and reduced memory requirements during full synchronizations. The release offers a more efficient and scalable Redis experience, with further enhancements expected ahead of the general availability (GA) release. Users can start experimenting with this milestone by downloading a Docker image or installing it using popular package managers like snap or brew.
