KeyDB
Multithreaded, Redis-compatible key-value database and cache server, a fork of Redis.
KeyDB is a key-value database and cache server written in C++, and a fork of Redis that focuses on multithreading. It keeps compatibility with the Redis protocol and client libraries. Snap Inc. maintains it, and the README says Snap uses it as part of its caching infrastructure.
KeyDB runs as a long-running server process. It can be compiled from source with make, which the README describes as tested for use on Linux, installed from the project’s Debian and RPM packages, or started from its Docker image. The documentation lives in a separate GitHub repository, and the project’s own domain now points to it.
Worth knowing
The README says there is no separate commercial product and no paid support option, so the open source release holds every feature the project offers.
