## Source excerpt

I'm back home, after a non easy trip, since to travel from San Francisco to Sicily is kinda NP complete: there are no solutions involving less than three flights. However it was definitely worth it, because the Redis Conference 2015 was very good, SF was wonderful as usually and I was able to meet with many interesting people. Here I'll limit myself to writing a short account of the conference, but the trip was also an incredible experience because I discovered old and new friends, that are not just smart programmers, but also people I could imagine being my friends here in Sicily. I never felt alone while I was 10k kilometers away from my home. The conference was organized by RackSpace in a magistral way, with RedisLabs, Heroku, and Hulu, sponsoring it as well. I can't say thank you enough times to everybody. Many people traveled from different parts of US and outside US to SF just for a couple of days, the venue was incredibly cool, and everything organized in the finest details. There was even an incredible cake for the Redis 6th birthday :-) However the killer features of the conference were, the number and the quality of the attenders (mostly actual Redis users), around 250 people, and the quality of the talks. The conference was free, even if it did not looked like a free conference at all, at any level. An incredible stage where to talk, very high quality food, plenty of space. All this honestly helped to create a setup for interesting exchanges. Everybody was using Redis for something, to get actual things done, and a lot of people shared their experiences. Among the talks I found Hulu and Heroku ones extremely interesting, because they covered details about different use cases and operational challenges. I also happen to agree with Bill Andersen (from RackSpace) vision on benchmarking Redis in a use-case oriented fashion, even if I missed the initial part of his talk because I was being interviewed, but the cool thing is, there will be recordings of the tal
