This talk dives deep into the history of Redis cache eviction algorithms, uncovering how they evolved to meet the needs of modern systems. Through poring over old commits, commit messages, and design choices—we'll trace the introduction of new eviction algorithms and the ongoing optimization of existing ones.

With both technical insights and historical context, this session provides a rare glimpse into the craftsmanship behind Redis. Even the creator of Redis tweeted about this talk, calling it "true software archaeology"—a testament to the discoveries awaiting in this exploration of Redis’s internals.
