Where Did All My Memory Go? Tuning Valkey Memory Usage at Scale - Edith Puclla & Hieu Nguyen, Percona

Monday October 5, 2026 12:10 - 12:20 CEST

Chamber Hall, Level 3

Each datatype in Valkey (Hash, List, Set, Sorted Set) can be encoded internally as a different object depending on how many elements a key of those types has in order to balance between the memory footprint and performance.

While this approach suits the majority of Valkey deployments. If your Valkey instances have a large number of keys, a little tuning can significantly reduce your memory footprint.

Through live demonstrations, we'll show how an open source encoding analyzer helps identify optimization opportunities and safely tune Valkey for production deployments.
