Summary
Viktor Vedmich, an AWS Senior Solutions Architect, presents Valkey as an open-source Redis fork under the Linux Foundation/CNCF with 100% API compatibility, created in 2024 after Redis changed its licensing. He details advanced caching strategies like lazy loading and data structures for real-time analytics, rate limiting, and session stores to solve the thundering herd problem, noting Valkey runs on AWS ElastiCache as a managed service with contributions from 40 organizations and 150 developers.
