Context

I have been a long term user of python celery module to implement asynchronous task server in machine learning context, which depends on REDIS as the message broker. But recently I saw some headlines that say

• REDIS is deprecated
• Valkey is being proposed by some companies as a replacement

Questions

• Is Valkey production ready and is it a drop in replacement (with exact same API and features) of REDIS?
• Anyone used Valkey in production or with celery before? What’s your experience?
• Any other alternative?
