Notes
As Principal Architect at Percona, one of the leading backing companies behind Valkey, my colleagues and I are pushing more customers to use Valkey in innovative ways to enhance their traditional RDBMS, in both scale and performance. My direct experience with customers in integrating Valkey into their database architecture, creating, and delivering Valkey performance audits, makes me very suited to deliver on such a topic.
