Valkey replication Internals Walkthrough

Submitted Feb 5, 2026

Description

I have been exploring Valkey for some time and wanted to know more how Valkey performs its replication process. Valkey and Redis instead of using some complex handy work use a common buffer by creating a linked list, I will go into depth of how Valkey does its entire replication process from the Primary node to the client!

Key Takeaway

  1. Learn about how Valkey and Redis perform replication
  2. Know how they took a radically different approach when it comes to sharing stuff between primary and replicas
  3. Get to understand RESP protocol and what makes it easy for replication to handle things with it.
  4. See how Replication Stream of Valkey works at low level!
