Bluebird Ballroom 2E

The telecom industry constantly evolves to meet the demands of modern communication.
As a supporter of the Linux Foundation Valkey project, this presentation will explore other ways to utilize Valkey compared to many cloud providers, and the benefits this brings to the community and the project itself.

We will discuss the technical aspects of Valkey's use in telecom, drawing from insights for the advantages of public forks managed by foundations, leading to faster and more expansive development.

Our company was one of the founding supporters of Valkey, and Viktor Söderqvist is a core maintainer of Valkey. We will cover how we integrate community engagement and governance, David as a manager and Viktor maintainer and our collaborative efforts together.

We'll highlight our contributions to Valkey, and the discussions that led to our strategic pivot and fork and creation Valkey.

We will also present unique requirements in telecom that has been added to Valkey, and demonstrate how these requirements also benefit the broader project, with features like downgrade mechanisms and key hash improvements for higher performance.
