This is an interesting extension! I thought Redis and Valkey were compatible, but what are the differences between them?

They're still wire-compatible for core commands, so most existing code works with both. The main differences so far: - New features diverging: Valkey added COMMANDLOG for query analysis, per-slot cluster metrics. Redis just shipped Vector Sets for similarity search. - As antirez mentioned, this gap will keep widening For now you can use either interchangeably for most workloads, but that window is closing.

Got it, thanks! Good to know they're still compatible for now. I'll have to watch how the feature gap develops.
