What is your proposed topic?
What actually breaks at 1B+ RPS and how to stop it from cascading. At Unlocked, engineers from Uber and Snap shared the failure modes benchmarks never catch, like connection storms and replication buffer loops. This blog is about the mitigations that kept their Valkey clusters recoverable under real production load.
The audience is engineers who are running Valkey at scale who focus on reliability. The takeaway is concrete patterns they can apply before saturation hits, like connection pool sizing, I/O thread configuration, dual-channel replication, and write throttling.
