- Travel from San Francisco to Sicily was difficult but worth it for the Redis Conference 2015.
- The conference was excellently organized by RackSpace with sponsors RedisLabs, Heroku, and Hulu.
- High-quality talks and around 250 attendees made the event valuable, with free admission and top-notch amenities.
- Notable talks included Hulu and Heroku on use cases and operational challenges, plus Bill Andersen's benchmarking vision.
- A negative point was Matt Stancliff's talk that criticized the author's leadership and proposed replacing him, which the author felt was unfair and poorly timed.
- Despite the disagreement, the conference was overall a magical experience, reinforcing the community's strength and the author's commitment to Redis.
