Build Your Own Redis

Currently only working on Linux as it utilizes epoll().

The project is done in increments: 01_basic_server_client - basic tcp server & client 02_protocol_parsing - echo server with a length-prefixed protocol 03_event_loop - event-based concurrency leveraging epoll 04_key_value_server - high speed server with get/set/del commands implemented 05_key_value_server_optimized - server optimized for low latency and high throughput

Building

cd 05_key_value_server_optimized/
mkdir build
cd build 
cmake .. -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug
cmake --build .

Running

Run the server and client in separate terminals

./server

./client 127.0.0.1 1234 set key1 val1
./client 127.0.0.1 1234 get key1
./client 127.0.0.1 1234 del key1

Benchmarking

Each benchmark is a different executable located at 05_key_value_server_optimized/build/benchmarks/

• ./latency 127.0.0.1 1234
• ./throughput 127.0.0.1 1234
