summary
Valkey is a BSD‑licensed, Linux Foundation‑stewarded in‑memory key‑value engine used as a look‑aside cache in front of MySQL, MariaDB and PostgreSQL; benchmarks run on identical hardware for a read‑heavy workload show 55% cost savings and much lower CPU and response times when Valkey handles redundant reads. A semantic‑cache stores query embeddings to avoid repeated LLM inference, cutting prompt cost and latency from seconds to milliseconds with semantic caching on Valkey.
