BetterDB – open-source Redis/Valkey migration across clouds and self-hosted

I built this after a year at Redis as an engineering manager for their developer tools, watching the ecosystem fragment after the license change.

Redis 7.4 broke data file compatibility with Valkey. RIOT, the only widely-used open migration tool, was archived last October with no open replacement. And the clouds - AWS, GCP, Redis Cloud - have no incentive to make leaving easy. If you want to move between providers, switch protocols, or get off managed infrastructure entirely, you're on your own.

BetterDB ships a three-phase workflow to fix that:

Analysis - scans your keyspace and flags blocking incompatibilities before anything moves. Green/amber/red verdict.

Execution - RedisShake for same-protocol speed, or command-based for cross-version and cross-protocol migrations where binary transfer fails.

Validation - key count comparison, sample spot-check, and performance baseline comparison against pre-migration snapshots.

Any direction. Any provider. Standalone or cluster.
