This project is a native Windows port of the Redis in-memory key-value store. It provides a high-speed database that maintains datasets in RAM while using periodic snapshots to disk for data persistence. The implementation includes a background system service wrapper, allowing the data store to be installed as a Windows service that starts automatically upon computer boot. It utilizes native Windows compilation to enable execution directly on the host operating system. The system covers in-memory data caching and local data persistence, ensuring that information is recovered after a process

Garnet is a multi-threaded in-memory database and distributed key-value store. It functions as a high-performance remote cache store that implements the RESP wire protocol to maintain compatibility with existing Redis clients and libraries. The project is distinguished by a shared-memory architecture that enables parallel request processing across multiple cores for sub-millisecond latency. It features a tiered storage system that automatically offloads colder data from system memory to SSD or cloud storage layers, and includes a specialized vector search database for high-dimensional similar

Dice is a low-latency key-value store based on Valkey that functions as a hierarchical storage engine. It combines a high-speed memory store with a tiered cache system to manage data across multiple storage levels. The system extends memory capacity by implementing a disk-backed cache that automatically persists evicted items to disk and restores them during cache misses. This storage tiering balances retrieval speed and operational cost by distributing data between fast memory and slower disk storage. The engine includes a query subscription service that monitors specific data patterns and

Valkey is an in-memory, NoSQL database server designed for high-performance data storage and real-time state management. It operates as a distributed key-value store, maintaining datasets entirely within system memory to facilitate sub-millisecond response times for read and write operations. The system distinguishes itself through a single-threaded event loop that utilizes asynchronous I/O multiplexing to ensure high throughput. It supports high availability via master-replica replication and provides a decoupled communication model through a built-in publish-subscribe messaging pattern. To

Olric is a distributed data grid and in-memory key-value store that partitions and replicates data across a cluster of servers. It serves as a shared memory system for managing distributed maps, performing atomic operations, and acting as an in-memory data cache. The system provides a distributed locking mechanism for concurrency control and a pub-sub messaging system that broadcasts and routes messages over named channels across the cluster. The platform covers wide-ranging capabilities including cluster management and orchestration, data replication with configurable quorums, and automated

Redis is an in-memory, key-value database designed to provide sub-millisecond latency for read and write operations. It functions as a versatile data platform, serving as a distributed cache, a message broker, a NoSQL document store, and a vector database. The system utilizes an event-driven, single-threaded loop to process requests efficiently, while maintaining data durability through append-only persistence logs and asynchronous snapshotting mechanisms. What distinguishes Redis is its ability to handle complex data structures—including strings, hashes, lists, sets, and sorted sets—alongsid

Dragonfly is a high-performance, multi-model in-memory data store designed to serve as a drop-in replacement for existing database infrastructures. By utilizing a multi-threaded, shared-nothing architecture and a fiber-based concurrency model, it maximizes CPU utilization and minimizes latency for read and write operations. The system supports a wide range of data structures, including strings, hashes, lists, sets, sorted sets, and JSON documents, while maintaining full compatibility with standard industry wire protocols and client libraries. What distinguishes Dragonfly is its focus on effic

DiceDB is a distributed cache manager and hierarchical storage engine based on a Valkey key-value store. It functions as a high-availability key-value cluster that balances performance and cost by distributing data across memory and disk tiers. The system supports working sets larger than available RAM by persisting evicted keys to disk and restoring them on demand. It also includes a real-time query subscription system that notifies clients when data matching specific criteria is updated. The project provides distributed cache coordination through master node health monitoring and quorum-ba

Redis is a high-performance in-memory key-value store that functions as a distributed cache, message broker, and NoSQL database. It provides sub-millisecond read and write access to data stored in RAM and can operate as a vector database for indexing high-dimensional embeddings. The system supports a wide range of data storage and synchronization primitives, including the management of strings, hashes, lists, sets, and JSON documents.
