Change is part of open source and it’s what drives progress!

That’s why Percona, together with AWS, is hosting Open Source Unlocked: From Redis to Valkey, a one-day, in-person event where you can explore how the community is reimagining in-memory databases with Valkey, the open source alternative to Redis.
