Redis Clone

A lightweight Redis-compatible server implementation in Go, supporting core Redis functionality and persistence.

Features

• RESP (Redis Serialization Protocol) implementation for Redis compatibility
• Basic Redis commands support:
  • PING - Test server connectivity
  • ECHO - Echo back the input
  • SET - Set key-value pairs with optional expiration
  • GET - Retrieve values by key
  • HSET - Set hash map entries
  • HGET - Retrieve hash map values
  • KEYS - Pattern-based key search
• Persistence through Append-Only File (AOF) and automatic AOF recovery on server restart
• Supports Key expiration
• Supports concurrent connections while ensuring thread-safe operations

Getting Started

Prerequisites

• Go 1.16 or higher

Installation

git clone https://github.com/ashish-kamra/redis-clone.git

cd redis-clone

go build ./cmd/server

Running the Server

./server -port 6379

The server will start listening on the specified port (default: 6379).

Connecting to the Server
