Modern web applications require a balance between performance, scalability, and ease of development. Valkey is an open-source (BSD) high-performance key/value datastore that supports various workloads such as caching and message queues and can act as a primary database. This makes Valkey an ideal database for running modern web applications.

In this session, members of the Valkey project (Ping Xie and Katie Collins) explain Valkey and how it can serve multiple use cases, the improvements made to its performance, and what to expect from the major release this October. Additionally, they discuss how Ubuntu supports Valkey in its future releases and how to use it securely and easily. Speakers also include Canonical's Michelle Tabirao and Lucas Kanashiro.
