## Description

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 restart or system stop. It also handles operating system specific path resolution for storing data snapshots in valid local folders.
