The Third annual RedisConf took place in downtown San Francisco, featuring over 50 speakers and 42 sessions on topics ranging from basic Redis data structures to the latest developments in Redis modules. The event included a full-day of training sessions led by Redis developers, with highlights including an appearance by Salvatore Sanfilippo, creator of Redis, and a live deployment of a Redis cluster using Kubernetes. The conference also featured keynotes from industry experts such as Joshua McKenty and Kelsey Hightower, covering topics like open source and cloud infrastructure. The event concluded with a fire-side chat about the limitations of monitoring and a closing performance by The Spazmatics. Looking ahead to RedisConf18, the team is already planning next year's conference, which will be announced towards the end of summer.
