Every application has bottlenecks. Whether it is slow API responses, congested databases, distance servers, or complicated calculations they all stand in the way of providing a good experience to your application’s users.

This workshop provides an interactive, practical introduction to Valkey, the open source high-performance key/value data store. First, you’ll learn about what makes Valkey high-performance, its data model, and data structures and how it eliminates bottlenecks. Then the workshop will go over how to connect Valkey to Python and what considerations you need to keep in mind for different environments. Finally, you’ll get some experience modelling data and bringing it into Python scripts with expert guidance and assistance.

This fast-paced session will use both the Valkey and Python REPLs as well as more involved, complete scripts. No previous Valkey experience is required but a working knowledge of Python is expected.
