Hey, I'm Madelyn. Welcome to my website!

I'm a software engineer and open source evangelist based in Seattle. I'm currently working at AWS supporting Amazon ElastiCache and MemoryDB and am an active contributor to the open-source Redis project. I also think fractals are really pretty.

Building for high availability and extreme performance with Redis cluster RedisConf, May 2021

Redis is widely deployed for its blazing high throughput and sub-millisecond response time, but it can also scale to hundreds of nodes thanks to its share-nothing architecture and native support for sharding. In this talk, AWS experts walk you through the fundamentals of how cluster mode achieves tens of millions of operations per second, discuss some of the opportunities ahead for improving performance and reliability, and share how they have made Amazon ElastiCache one of the best places to run cluster mode in the cloud.

Beyond caching: Advanced design patterns in Redis AWS re:invent, Dec 2020

Redis is the “Swiss Army knife” of distributed applications; it offers low latency and high-throughput data processing. This session reviews use cases, examples, and demos of how you can take advantage of Redis to solve distributed system problems like managing state, processing events, and transforming data in real time.
