We detailed the user flow, including how users view ads, generate leads, and book test drives. Our primary focus was on enhancing the performance of individual car pages, where we discussed various strategies to reduce latency and improve load times. We examined the impact of client-side versus server-side rendering and outlined initial approaches to optimizing both frontend and backend components.

What is Valkey?

Valkey is an open-source, high-performance key/value datastore licensed under BSD. It supports a variety of workloads such as caching, message queues, and can function as a primary database. Valkey can operate as a standalone daemon or in a cluster with options for replication and high availability.

It originated as a fork of Redis after Redis changed its license terms. More details on the forking issue can be found at arstechnica.com.
