Yeah, there has been a lot of stuff like performance [1] and efficiency improvements [2]. A lot of the contributors, that didn't work for Redis labs but worked on Redis OSS before the fork, moved to Valkey and they continued to contribute.

Well Valkey has more commits to their repository then Redis does, and more contributors. So it appears to be active.

In fact, some of Redis 8’s new features were taken from Valkey source code.

Valkey has RDMA support, which offers significant performance improvements.
