Has anyone used valkey in production? How does it compare to redis? Can it be used as a 1:1 replacement to redis or are there any caveats?

I'm from the project.
There shouldn't be any caveats of replacing Redis 7.2 and early to Valkey 8.0. I've talked with a few folks who have migrated and none so far have hit any issues, one even migrated from Redis 2.6.
If you upgraded to 7.4, then redis switched to a proprietary dump format, and if you want to use those dumps you'll have to use a third-party tool to dump the data and put it back in valkey.
