thinRedis

thinRedis is a high performance standalone cache server written by GO.
It implemented full RESP(Redis Serialization Protocol), so it supports all Redis clients.

Features

• Support all Clients based on RESP protocol
• Support String, List, Set, Hash data types
• Support TTL(Key-Value pair will be deleted after TTL)
• Full in-memory storage
• Support atomic operation for some needed commands(like INCR, DECR, INCRBY, MSET, SMOVE, etc.)

Usage

Build thinRedis from source code:

$ go build -o thinRedis main.go

Start thinRedis server:

$ ./thinRedis
[info][server.go:26] 2022/09/08 13:23:50 [Server Listen at  127.0.0.1 : 6379]

Use start option commands or config file to change default settings:

$ ./thinRedis -h
Usage of ./thinredis:
  -config string
        Appoint a config file: such as /etc/redis.conf
  -host string
        Bind host ip: default is 127.0.0.1 (default "127.0.0.1")
  -logdir string
        Set log directory: default is /tmp (default "./")
  -loglevel string
        Set log level: default is info (default "info")
  -port int
        Bind a listening port: default is 6379 (default 6379)

Communication with thinRedis server

Any redis client can communicate with thinRedis server.
For example, use redis-cli to communicate with thinRedis server:

# start a thinRedis server listening at 12345 port
$ ./thinredis -port 12345
[info][server.go:26] 2022/09/08 13:31:47 [Server Listen at  127.0.0.1 : 12345]
                      ...

# start a redis-cli and connect to thinRedis server
$ redis-cli -p 12345
127.0.0.1:12345> PING
PONG
127.0.0.1:12345> MSET key1 a key2 b
OK
127.0.0.1:12345> MGET key1 key2 nonekey
1) "a"
2) "b"
3) (nil)
127.0.0.1:12345> RPUSH list1 1 2 3 4 5
(integer) 5
127.0.0.1:12345> LRANGE list1 0 -1
1) "1"
2) "2"
3) "3"
4) "4"
5) "5"
127.0.0.1:12345> TYPE list1
list
127.0.0.1:12345> EXPIRE list1 100
(integer) 1
# wait for a few seconds
127.0.0.1:12345> TTL list1
(integer) 93
127.0.0.1:12345> PERSIST list1
(integer) 1
127.0.0.1:12345> TTL list1
(integer) -1
