Asaf porat Stoler

Over the past 5 years at AWS ElastiCache, I’ve been responsible for performance evaluation of Redis/Valkey and serverless offerings, developing automation tools for performance qualification and monitoring. I also lead the Valkey-glide open-source initiative, focused on building the best Valkey client. This work has given me deep experience with Python, especially in high-performance and async contexts. I’ve collaborated with open-source communities on Python client libraries, and I'm passionate about pushing the boundaries of Python performance.
