Back to all events

Redis has been a key technology for many developers, companies, and open-source communities for years. With the emergence of Valkey, many people are now asking what this change means, what stays familiar, and what new opportunities are opening for the community.

In this session, Kyle Davis will lead a practical discussion on the transition from Redis to Valkey, including the questions, concerns, and opportunities people may face when exploring Valkey adoption. Participants will gain a clearer understanding of the current ecosystem, how Redis and Valkey relate to each other, and how the community can contribute to a healthy open-source future for this technology.
