Nice technique, learnt about here last month and have used a few times:

I created an interactive map to better understand how Redis works

Each component links to the source code, and you can open the console to enter your own commands and watch the execution flow

    Not trying to rain on this parade. But it would be nice to know how much of this a person sat down and made. The captions all have the "X, not Y" tic, every component cites source by line number, and the site went from a post every few months to six in a week in four languages. Which all point to heavy LLM usage. It's not a crime. I'd probably use the robot to help build the thing too. It's just feels a bit icky on a Show HN.

    Looks beautiful thank you! Looking at it though I keep thinking - would understand it better if it was factorio :-D

  • soltanov

    it is very beautifull idea and implementation. Open source available? It is good material for teaching how redis works.

my tiny brain can understand 2d better

Will this become a trend? When the client asks you for an architecture diagram, you respond with a 3d world.

Is it live on some redis?

  • comboy

    There's a console and you can track your command! Very cool. Not sure if 3D is needed but very cool nonetheless, It might be that some things are missing (I don't know redis internals though) like some encoding step when getting data back to client, managing client connections and their state (multi, watch) etc.

Clean launch, good luck!

very cool, fun to visualize :-)

    "The Grid. A digital frontier. I tried to picture clusters of information as they moved through the computer. What did they look like? Ships? Motorcycles? Were the circuits like freeways? I kept dreaming of a world I thought I'd never see."

wow looks really fun

3D model is almost like 2D diagram, only needlessly confusing and slop.
