    • Valkey 8.x increases single-process throughput from 250k to ~1M QPS using runtime-tunable async I/O threads.
    • Memory usage is optimized via key embedding and per-slot dictionaries, while dual-channel replication reduces primary node pressure during sync.
    • The Technical Steering Committee (TSC) includes representatives from 8 companies like Ericsson, AWS, and Apple, reflecting a multi-vendor governance model.
