Redis has released version 8.2, which returns to being free and open-source software (FOSS) under the GNU AGPL license, featuring significant performance enhancements. Meanwhile, the older FOSS version 7.2 is approaching its end of life, prompting users to consider migration to either Redis 8.2 or the forked Valkey project. Redis 8.2 boasts improvements such as faster command execution and reduced memory usage.

Bitnami has announced the shutdown of its public Docker Hub repository, transitioning to a paid model that will no longer provide free stable images, forcing many developers to migrate to other providers or subscribe to costly secure images. The change has sparked significant backlash within the tech community, particularly among small businesses and hobbyists who relied on Bitnami’s services. Users must act quickly to avoid disruptions as the phased shutdown begins on August 28, 2025, with existing images moving to a legacy repository that will not receive updates or support.
