valkey-bundle: One stop shop for real-time applications
Valkey an open source in-memory datastore provides valkey-bundle a solution that combines essential tools for building high-performance, low-latency applications with JSON, Bloom, Vector Search and LDAP support. In this session, we'll explore how Valkey can elevate your application development. Learn how to leverage the Valkey engine's speed and flexibility to create efficient, reliable systems whether you're building a startup MVP or scaling enterprise workloads. Discover the latest contributions to the Valkey project and how you can get started with Valkey powered caching, sessions and vector similarity search for real-time recommendations through a demo application.
Valkey on Kubernetes: High-Performance, Low-Latency Deployments for Scalable Clusters
This session will explore deploying Valkey, an open-source high-performance key/value datastore, on Kubernetes to achieve high throughput, low latency, and horizontal/vertical scalability. Attendees will learn practical patterns for running Valkey clusters in cloud-native environments, with a focus on operational best practices, performance tuning, and integration with Kubernetes-native tools. The talk will balance theory with hands-on examples, emphasizing Valkey’s BSD licensing, Linux Foundation backing, and compatibility with existing Kubernetes ecosystems.
Redis is Wincredible!
Redis built-in Data Structures have allowed us to shift towards a real NoSQL movement for our primary storage at the Publishers Clearing House; leveraging the exceptional latency from Redis we have been able to create Applications to support considerable amounts of concurrent users for Live experiences. PCH as an ecosystem serves millions of daily active users and billions of requests per week. Wincredible is our latest addition to the mobile stores using Redis for Pub/Sub, Leaderboards and Gameplay.
Moving to Valkey without downtime
Join us for an in-depth exploration of Valkey an open source in-memory datastore project under the Linux Foundation, and discover how this high-performance key-value database is revolutionizing the way we approach data storage and management. From the core engine to the modules and client libraries, we'll delve into the architecture and features that make Valkey an attractive alternative to traditional in-memory implementations.
A key aspect of our presentation will be the migration strategies from Redis OSS to Valkey. We'll provide a step-by-step guide on how to seamlessly transition your existing workloads to Valkey, leveraging the compatibility and benefits that this new database offers. Whether you're a developer, architect, or technical leader, this session will equip you with the knowledge and expertise needed to unlock the full potential of Valkey and take your data storage and management to the next level.
How 50+ organizations built Valkey
Learn about a remarkable collaboration story that reshaped in-memory database infrastructure. When the industry needed a truly open in-memory datastore in April 2024, something extraordinary happened: AWS, Google Cloud, Oracle, Ericsson, Alibaba, Tencent, Huawei, Percona, and dozens of other technology leaders united under the Linux Foundation to create Valkey. Over 150 contributors from 50+ organizations delivered 1,000 commits in just 12 months, achieving remarkable results: 230% throughput gains, 20% memory efficiency improvements, and valkey-bundle a unified solution integrating JSON operations, Bloom filters, Vector Search, and LDAP authentication. You'll discover the untold story behind this cross-industry cooperation and explore technical innovations that emerged from diverse perspectives. The session examines why vendor neutral governance matters for critical infrastructure and how open collaboration accelerates innovation beyond single company capabilities.
Cache me if you can, Valkey edition
Este taller práctico explora el uso de caché con Valkey a través de tres casos de uso clave: optimización de consultas a bases de datos, gestión de sesiones y tablas de clasificación en tiempo real. Los participantes aprenderán a cachear operaciones de base de datos costosas, llamadas a APIs externas y configuraciones JSON, al mismo tiempo que construyen almacenamiento de sesiones escalable y tablas dinámicas de clasificación.
Más allá de la implementación, el taller enfatiza desafíos críticos del caché, incluyendo invalidación de caché, prevención de stampede, gestión de memoria y consistencia de datos. Los asistentes experimentarán de primera mano errores comunes y aprenderán estrategias comprobadas para cache warming, optimización de TTL y monitoreo en producción.
Los participantes se llevarán ejemplos de código funcionales, patrones de arquitectura y una comprensión clara de los trade-offs del caché que podrán aplicar de inmediato en sus aplicaciones.
