Is KeyDB abandoned by Snap Inc? Who maintains it now?

Dear KeyDB Team ,

I’ve noticed that KeyDB hasn’t received any major updates or maintenance since around 2023. It seems like development has slowed down significantly , no new commits, releases, or community engagement really .

Is KeyDB still under active development or officially maintained by Snap?

If not, has Snap open-sourced or transferred maintenance to another team or community group?

I also saw in GitHub Issue #895 that @JohnSully , a main contributor, has left Snapchat. This makes me wonder about the long-term support and development of KeyDB.

I'm asking this to understand whether it’s worth considering KeyDB for a future project, particularly because of its multi-master and active-replica features, which are quite valuable compared to Redis.

Regards, David
