About Redis 8.0
Redis 8 is the first release under the new dual licensing model (RSALv2 + SSPLv1). It brings performance improvements and new data structure operations while navigating the licensing controversy.
Key Changes in Redis 8.0
- ●Hash field expiration for per-field TTL within hashes
- ●Client-side caching improvements with better invalidation tracking
- ●Performance improvements in cluster mode for cross-slot operations
- ●New vector search capabilities for AI/ML workloads
- ●Improved observability with enhanced SLOWLOG and LATENCY tracking
Breaking Changes
- ▲License changed from BSD to RSALv2 + SSPLv1 (no longer fully open source)
- ▲May affect cloud providers and managed Redis services
Redis 8.0 recently reached end of life on February 11, 2026. This means it no longer receives security patches or bug fixes from the maintainers. If you are still on this version, now is the time to finalize your upgrade plan before the gap between your version and the current release grows wider.
The recommended upgrade target is Redis 8.6. You are 3 major versions behind, so review the changelog for each version in between to catch any breaking changes. A staged upgrade through each major version is often safer than jumping directly.
Migration Notes
The major consideration for Redis 8 is the license change. If you're using Redis in a managed service context, verify your provider's compatibility. Valkey (Linux Foundation fork) and KeyDB are BSD-licensed alternatives if the new license is incompatible with your use case.
