Deploying Valkey at Enterprise level with LDAP Authentication and Auditing
summary
Two new Valkey modules add enterprise auth and audit: valkey-ldap (Rust) intercepts AUTH, supports simple bind and search+bind modes, TLS, connection pools and failure detection, ships as RPM and container with docs; ValkeyAudit (C) captures connections, auth attempts and commands, applies configurable filters, formats (JSON/CSV), and writes asynchronously to file/syslog/TCP using a fixed 16k buffer. End-to-end tests run; full auditing costs ~20% throughput while exclusion rules drop overhead near zero; an auth-result callback is merged into the module API.
