Mini Redis

Mini Redis is a lightweight, educational implementation of a Redis-like key-value store in Node.js. It features a TCP server that understands the RESP (Redis Serialization Protocol) and a web-based dashboard for monitoring and interaction.

Features

• TCP Server: Listens on port 6379 and handles standard Redis commands.
• RESP Protocol: Implements a custom parser for the Redis Serialization Protocol.
• Web Dashboard: Real-time monitoring of stats and an interactive console (Port 8080).
• In-Memory Store: Fast key-value storage.

Installation

1. Clone the repository.

   git clone <repository-url>

2. Navigate to the project directory.

   cd "Mini Redis"

3. Install dependencies (None! It uses standard Node.js libraries).

Usage

Start the server:

node server.js

You should see output similar to:

Mini Redis TCP server running on port 6379
Mini Redis Web Interface running at http://localhost:8080

Web Dashboard

Open your browser and navigate to http://localhost:8080 to view the dashboard.

TCP Client

You can connect using netcat or any Redis client:

nc localhost 6379

Supported Commands

• SET key value: Store a value.
• GET key: Retrieve a value.
• DEL key: Delete a key.
• PING: Check server health.
