Hey everyone! I've been using Bitnami's Redis Cluster Helm chart for some time now, but I'm on the hunt for a good alternative to replace it. I specifically want a Redis cluster setup, not a Sentinel configuration. Any suggestions?

You might not need a new Helm chart at all. There's a script I made that lets you build and push your own image to DockerHub, then just tweak the global image to point to your registry: https://github.com/tzahifadida/oys-bitnami-builder. It could save you some hassle!
Have you looked into Cloudpirates? They have a Valkey chart and it looks promising! Their charts are relatively new but well documented and evolving quickly. Check it out here: https://github.com/CloudPirates-io/helm-charts. Also, I've contributed a couple of charts there!
I suggest trying the Dragonfly operator. It seems solid and works as a drop-in replacement for Redis, but just a heads up, it's not fully compatible with every use case. There are some quirks, like slow failovers under certain conditions, but it might work for you!
Have you considered Valkey? It's a drop-in replacement that could work well for you!
Sure, Valkey is great, but the main Helm charts are still from Bitnami.
Yeah, I've heard about those issues. Last week, I faced key eviction problems with it!
