ValkeyConf 2026

Are you sure your in-memory datastore is truly secured against unauthorized access, accidental key overrides, and data exposure in production?

Securing Valkey goes far beyond setting a single cluster password. As microservice architectures scale, developers must balance zero-trust isolation with low latency. In this talk, we bridge the gap between application code and Valkey security models. We will explore practical strategies for implementing granular Access Control Lists (ACLs), mutual TLS (mTLS) certificate mapping, and secure connection pooling without sacrificing execution speed.

We'll also dive into recent enterprise security enhancements across modern Valkey releases, including database-level ACL scoping (db=N), enterprise LDAP integration, and automated TLS certificate rotation. You'll walk away with actionable code patterns for multi-tenant key isolation, least-privilege command restrictions, and audit logging.

Whether you're building high-throughput microservices or managing sensitive cached datasets, this session equips you with the tools to build a robust defense-in-depth architecture.
Excited to share best practices and secure our Valkey applications together!
