​Session: Valkey Is More Than a Cache: Building Stateful AI Infrastructure

Modern AI systems are evolving far beyond simple prompt-response applications. Today’s agentic platforms require memory, coordination, real-time context sharing, semantic caching, conversation persistence, rate limiting, and ultra-low-latency data access to operate reliably at scale.

​In this session, we explore how Valkey can serve as a foundational building block for stateful AI infrastructure — not just as a cache, but as a high-speed operational memory layer powering modern intelligent systems.

​Freshworks’ Valkey Journey: From Evaluation to Adoption at Scale

​What does it take to introduce Valkey into a large-scale production environment? This session shares how Freshworks evaluated Valkey against Redis, the key findings that shaped our migration strategy, and our approach to adopting Valkey across diverse technology stacks. We’ll also discuss our contributions to Valkey Glide and client libraries, and how we’re helping strengthen the Valkey ecosystem.

​Let's learn, collaborate, and build the future together!
