The Problem

Redis is a tool most backend developers use every day without seeing inside it. Building a compatible server is the most direct way to understand the wire protocol, in-memory data structures, and how persistence survives a restart.

What I Built

01

RESP Protocol

Parses the Redis Serialization Protocol over TCP, so existing Redis clients can talk to it for basic functionality.

02

AOF Persistence

Writes to an append-only file so data survives restarts.

03

Core Data Types

Strings (SET, GET, DEL, INCR, EXISTS), hashes (HSET, HGET, HDEL, HGETALL), lists (LPUSH, RPUSH, LPOP, RPOP, LLEN), and sets (SADD, SREM, SCARD, SISMEMBER).

04

CLI, SDK, and Dashboard

Install the CLI with go install, use the Go SDK from your own code, or manage the server from the built-in React dashboard.
