`ValkeyDb` brings Valkey to Agno as an in-memory database for agents, teams, and workflows. Your sessions and state live in memory, so reads and writes stay quick under load.

Not every agent needs a full relational database sitting behind it just to hold session state. When latency matters more than durable long-term storage, backing your agents with Valkey keeps that path light and fast. Point an agent, a team, or a workflow at it and the storage layer stops being the slow part.
