Snap Inc. is migrating its KeyDB fork to mainstream Valkey at hundreds of millions of QPS. A call for papers for ValkeyConf 2026 (October 5, Prague, CFP closes August 2) is also included. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### Is Snap migrating from KeyDB to Valkey? Yes, Snap Inc. is actively migrating its high-throughput, low-latency, internet-scale caching fleets from its standalone KeyDB fork directly to mainstream Valkey. The move avoids the operational trade-offs of maintaining a long-lived repository fork, and Snap is moving hundreds of millions of queries per second into production under the unified Valkey standard using storage abstractions and proxy layers. _Teams weighing a move off a Redis fork can follow real migration stories like this on daily.dev._ ### What new features shipped in Valkey 9? Valkey 9 introduces billion QPS scaling for high-throughput caching, atomic slot migration for live data moves across nodes without application disruption, per-field TTL for granular data expiration control, and advanced native vector search to support AI-driven workloads and full-text search. _Engineers tracking caching layer capabilities can follow Valkey release details on daily.dev._ ### When and where is ValkeyConf 2026 and when does the CFP close? ValkeyConf 2026 takes place on October 5 in Prague. The call for papers covers architecture and performance, use cases and adoption stories, and integrations and tooling, with first-time speakers encouraged to submit; the CFP closes August 2 at 11:59 PM GMT+2. _Practitioners considering a conference talk can track open source event deadlines like this on daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Valkey just had a 17x year.
