**TLDR**: if the playbook used installed Redis as a dependency for you before, it will now replace it with [KeyDB](https://docs.keydb.dev/) (a drop-in alternative) due to [Redis having changed its license](https://redis.com/blog/redis-adopts-dual-source-available-licensing/).
Thanks to [Aine](https://gitlab.com/etke.cc) of [etke.cc](https://etke.cc/), the playbook now uses [KeyDB](https://docs.keydb.dev/) (a drop-in alternative), instead of [Redis](https://redis.io/).

The playbook used to install Redis (and now installs KeyDB in its place) if services have a need for it ([enabling worker support for Synapse](docs/configuring-playbook-synapse.md#load-balancing-with-workers), enabling Hookshot encryption, etc.) or if you explicitly enable the service (`redis_enabled: true` or `keydb_enabled: true`).

This change is provoked by the fact that [Redis is now "source available"](https://redis.com/blog/redis-adopts-dual-source-available-licensing/). According to the limitations of the new license (as best as we understand them, given that we're not lawyers), using Redis in the playbook (even in a commercial FOSS service like [etke.cc](https://etke.cc/)) does not violate the new Redis license. That said, we'd rather neither risk it, nor endorse shady licenses and products that pretend to be free-software. Another high-quality alternative to Redis seems to be [Dragonfly](https://www.dragonflydb.io/), but the [Dragonfly license](https://github.com/dragonflydb/dragonfly?tab=License-1-ov-file#readme) is no better than Redis.

Next time your run the playbook (via the `setup-all` tag), **Redis will be automatically uninstalled and replaced with KeyDB**. Some Synapse downtime may occur while the switch happens.
