Apache Kvrocks
Apache Kvrocks speaks the Redis protocol and stores data in RocksDB instead of keeping the working set in memory. The GitHub license is Apache-2.0. The project documents replication, a cluster, and core data types. It is the pick when memory cost is the problem and a pure in-memory cache is not.
Open source means you can use, change, and share the code.

How to switch
Compared with Redis. Its price on file: Redis 8 is tri-licensed: RSALv2, SSPLv1, or AGPLv3. We have not checked a dollar price for Redis Cloud or Redis Software.
What you give up: memory as the primary store. You only get part of: strings, hashes, lists, sets, and sorted sets and the JSON, time series, and search bundle from Redis 8.
