Ask HN: Redis V8 vs. competition? (Valkey, Dragonfly, etc.)

I cannot find any up to date resources that would document how does Redis v8 performance compare to the likes of Valkey and Dragonfly.
I was wondering if anyone did any independent benchmarks?
Anton is doing an incredible job with his tests at such level, even antirez commented about his performance findings and have informed the dev team to provide possible fixes in Redis 8.
Like Vmware and Oracle, we never know what is going dark or not.
So unless you are creating a product in a company where you need support, I would go Valkey.
But why benchmark it against Valkey? Are they not the same?
