Build Dev Con: In-Memory Databases

Percona is taking part in the DB Mastery: In-Memory Databases summit on March 20, 2026. This virtual event focuses on how teams design and operate high-performance in-memory systems, covering low-latency data models, caching architectures, and scaling fast read/write workloads.

Percona will have a strong presence with four expert speakers contributing to the talks and discussions:

  • Peter Zaitsev - Founder of Percona
  • Andrey Glazkov - Valkey and Redis Product Manager
  • Martin Visser - Valkey and Redis Tech Lead
  • Kyle Davis - General Manager, Redis and Valkey Ecosystem

The summit explores critical technical themes for modern high-throughput applications, including distributed clustering, durability patterns, and real-time event-driven patterns.

Attendees will dive into deep operational topics such as:

  • Durability strategies: Snapshots, AOF, and hybrid persistence.
  • Architecture: Clustering/sharding for distributed in-memory engines and HA/failover models.
  • Management: Memory management, eviction policies, and security/access control.
  • Observability: Monitoring and performance at very high resolution.

Percona is excited to join this global virtual gathering to share insights on building and maintaining ultra-low-latency database environments. Join us to learn from real-world use cases and technical experts!

Those interested in the intersection of open-source and high-performance databases can find more information on the official event page.
