Key takeaways

Akamai Valkey Managed Database is a fully managed platform tailored for the modern, distributed AI era.

Production AI workloads and multistep agent workflows suffer from high latency and prohibitive GPU costs when forced to bounce back to centralized public clouds for context.

Valkey Managed Database operates closer to users and acts as a high-performance in-memory layer to provide prompt caching, vector-optimized retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), and real-time state tracking.

The rise of generative AI is transforming how modern applications are built. Enterprises are moving beyond AI experimentation and deploying intelligent systems that must retrieve knowledge in real time, personalize user experiences, support autonomous workflows, and operate at global scale.

\r\n As organizations move AI models into production, model training alone is insufficient.…
