Visit Redis Labs Online at AWS re:Invent 2020

Most years, when the weather turns cold, tens of thousands of cloud computing professionals around the world get busy booking tickets to Las Vegas for AWS re:Invent for a few days of cloud-centric networking, learning, and partying. Like just about everything else this year, though, AWS re:Invent 2020 is going virtual—but that doesn’t mean it’s not going to be amazing! 

Because re:Invent is online this year, that means it’s completely free—hundreds of thousands attendees will join for their first re:Invent ever, so there’s no reason not to attend! As a Gold Sponsor for this year’s three-week cloud extravaganza, held from November 30 to December 18, we’re focused on showing how Redis Enterprise is not just any Redis. Only with Redis Enterprise—from the makers of Redis—can you get global distribution and endless possibilities, with the flexibility of working with any real-time data at any scale, anywhere. 

We’re also excited to share more about Redis Enterprise Cloud, the premiere fully managed version of Redis that allows you to scale your data across hybrid or multi-cloud deployments around the world. Built for modern distributed applications, Redis Enterprise Cloud not only allows you to scale across environments and globally at local latencies, but it also allows you to run customer-facing production apps with sub-millisecond performance at virtually infinite scale without worrying about operational complexity or service availability. Plus, Redis is an AWS Partner Network (APN) Advanced Tier Technology partner—the highest designation an AWS partner can achieve.

During re:Invent 2020 we’re hosting two exclusive speaking sessions, where you’ll be able to learn how customer engagement leader Freshworks has scaled its business with Redis Enterprise Cloud on AWS. Plus, you won’t want to miss our roundtable discussion with Yossi Gottlieb and Madelyn Olson, members of the OSS Redis core team, as they discuss the future of the open source Redis project. Read on to learn more about what you can expect from our sessions, how to score some great swag and cool prizes, and more!

Date: Thursday, Dec. 3, 3:15–3:45 p.m. PT (Live and on-demand at our virtual booth)

Speaker: Vijay Lakshminarayanan, Senior Engineering Manager at Freshworks

Redis is the most popular open source cache, and increasingly a primary database for many organizations. As organizations grow business-critical applications, many grapple with choosing the right time to graduate from open source Redis to Redis Enterprise. In this session, representatives from Redis and Freshworks identify the top considerations for moving to the enterprise version of Redis, when it’s the right time, and how to optimize your investment in Redis Enterprise. 

You’ll learn how Freshworks scaled from 30 million to 500 million requests per day, and its plan to double that to 1 billion requests per day, and why Redis Enterprise Cloud was a key component to enabling Freshworks’ growth. Plus, you’ll get an inside look at running Redis Enterprise seamlessly on AWS! 

Session: Redis 2020: Creating a community-driven project

Date: Wednesday, Dec. 2, 12:30–1 p.m. PT (Live and on-demand at our virtual booth)

Speaker: Yossi Gottlieb, Chief Architect at Redis, and Madelyn Olson, Senior Software Development Engineer at AWS

Redis has been named the world’s most loved database four years running, and to keep that streak going, the open source Redis project is now managed in a light-governance model by a new OSS Redis core team working with the Redis community to help drive its development.

In this session, Yossi and Madelyn, two members of that core team, will discuss the origins of the new light-governance model, how we’re working to preserve the best of Redis, and how we want to grow the community. They’ll highlight some successful community members and share how AWS will continue to contribute to Redis. Finally, they’ll look at the immediate future of Redis—in the cloud and beyond.
