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.
Sobre Roberto Luna Rojas: Roberto Luna Rojas is a Sr Developer Advocate for Valkey based in the USA, originally from Mexico. He tries to get the most out of in-memory databases one bit at the time, been around developing software since the mid 90s focused on performance and scalability. When not in front of the computer, he loves spending time with his family, listening to music, and watching movies, TV shows, and sports.
Sobre Nigel Brown: Nigel is a Senior Developer Advocate based in Austin, Texas. He was drawn to the craft of software engineering because of the agency it provides people to build and interact with worlds of their own creation. He focuses on Cloud Native technologies and his passions in technology are community building, High Performance Computing, and free and open source software (and hardware).

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.
