Context engineering is defining the agentic era by giving AI systems persistent memory, long-term recall, and continuity across interactions.

Redis CEO Rowan Trollope—joined virtually by Redis creator Salvatore “antirez” Sanfilippo—makes the case for context engineering as the missing layer agents need to move beyond demos and into production.

1. Why context engineering is essential for giving AI systems persistent memory and long-term continuity.
2. How context enables agents to move from demos into reliable production systems.
3. How Redis acts as the foundational memory layer for agentic apps.
