Support Valkey

[HarlemSquirrel]

I recently learned about Valkey so it would be awesome to have support for that here.

AWS ElastiCache recently added Valkey as well:

@HarlemSquirrel Hey, is it used widely? Would you like to add a new RateLimiterValkey?
Btw, it is a good name for key-value storage. :)

I'm not sure how widely it's used yet. Just learned about it from a co-worker through that AWS article. The GitHub project has 18k stars: https://github.com/valkey-io/valkey

I'm not using this library yet but I came across it while researching for an upcoming project. We may not add any libraries for rate limiting but I wanted to see if there was any interest here in supporting Valkey since I heard some good things. 😁

Valkey has been launched last year by Linuxfoundation and is backed by over 40+ companies including AWS, Google, Oracle. It seems to be something very cool :)

Valkey can be connected using ioredis according to this article, that's why I think it can works actually with the RateLimiterRedis class: https://community.aws/content/2hx81ITCvDiWqrAz06SECOvepoa/getting-started-with-valkey-using-javascript#use-valkey-with-ioredis

But it could be better to have a separated connector using official fork of ioredis for valkey -> iovalkey

Once again, iovalkey is a fork of ioredis and are actually very close. It's possible that RateLimiterRedis and iovalkey works together.

I'm also interested in this - Valkey is awesome!

There are 2 important clients, iovalkey and Valkey GLIDE

I wanted to make a PR for both them but it seems difficult to create one RateLimtier class for both

I think I'll do 2 classes, RateLimiterValkey for iovalkey, and RateLimiterGlide or RateLimiterValkeyGlide for the other
