Should I write my own Redis?
Hello,
there is an excellent library for golang which allows you to implement the redis server protocol: https://github.com/tidwall/redcon
I would like to put in the effort to implement most redis commands there and map them to SQL, so that all data can be saved inside a fine tuned sqlite.
Essentially if this is implemented we would have a database compatible to redis, the difference is that data is saved to disk and not to RAM.
Is there a use case for that? Do people want that? There is some interesting things that could be done with that but I am not sure if the world needs this. > I would like to put in the effort to implement most redis commands there and map them to SQL, so that all data can be saved inside a fine tuned sqlite. Maybe this is related to what you are looking for? https://launchpad.redis.com/project/reqlite Hmm interesting. Yes, kind of related still different. It's a sqlite extension to query existing redis server data. Not a redis server itself. But interesting. Thanks for the link! Usually people don't know is they really want something until it's in front of them. It's also easier to show off what it does that way. Hahaha, well it would be a pity to code for months in a basement only to find out there is no use case.
