Build Redis from Scratch in Rust

Primary LanguageRust

Rust Redis-like Server

This project is a simplified Redis-like server implemented in Rust. It supports basic key-value storage functionalities with optional key expiration and is capable of handling multiple client connections concurrently. This server is built to handle a subset of Redis commands and uses the Redis serialization protocol (RESP) for communication.

Features

  • Basic Redis Commands: Supports PING, ECHO, SET, and GET commands.
  • Concurrency: Uses multithreading to handle multiple client connections simultaneously.
  • Key Expiration: Allows setting expiration time for keys in milliseconds.
  • Error Handling: Gracefully handles errors and client disconnections.

Getting Started

Running the Server

Run the server using Cargo:

cargo run --release

The server will start and listen for connections on 127.0.0.1:6379.

Usage

Connect to the server using a Redis client or any compatible tool. Below are examples using redis-cli:

    redis-cli -p 6379
    127.0.0.1:6379> PING
    PONG
    127.0.0.1:6379> SET mykey myvalue
    OK
    127.0.0.1:6379> GET mykey
    "myvalue"
    127.0.0.1:6379> SET tempkey tempvalue PX 10000
    OK
    127.0.0.1:6379> ECHO "Hello, World!"
    "Hello, World!"

Future Work

  • Replication: leader follower (master-replica) replication
