Unlock 1 Million RPS: Experience Triple the Speed with Valkey
Valkey 8.0, set for release in September 2024, will bring major performance enhancements through a variety of improvements including a new multi-threaded architecture. This update aims to significantly boost throughput and reduce latency across various hardware configurations. Read on to learn more about the new innovative I/O threading implementation and its impact on performance and efficiency. This post is the first in a two-part series. The next post will dive into the new prefetch mechanism and its impact on performance.
At AWS, we have hundreds of thousands of customers using Amazon ElastiCache and Amazon MemoryDB. Feedback we continuously hear from end users is that they need better absolute performance and want to squeeze more performance from their clusters.
Our commitment to meeting these performance and efficiency needs led us down a path of improving the multi-threaded performance of our ElastiCache and MemoryDB services, through features we called Enhanced IO and Multiplexing. Today we are excited to dive into how we are sharing our learnings from this performance journey by contributing a major performance improvement to the Valkey project.
