Apache Kvrocks is a distributed key-value NoSQL database built on RocksDB. It implements the Redis protocol, allowing applications to access the database using existing Redis clients and software libraries.
By storing data on persistent storage rather than relying primarily on RAM, Kvrocks aims to reduce memory costs and support larger datasets. It offers replication, high availability, namespaces and clustered deployments.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Uses RocksDB as its underlying storage engine.
- Supports the Redis protocol and existing Redis clients.
- Provides namespaces with separate access tokens for data isolation.
- Offers asynchronous replication using a binlog-based design.
- Supports Redis Sentinel for automatic failover.
- Provides a proxyless, centrally managed cluster architecture.
- Works with Redis Cluster-compatible client libraries.
- Supports optional TLS-encrypted connections.
- Includes tools for migrating data between Kvrocks and Redis.
- Offers official Docker images.
- Supports Linux and macOS on x86-64, ARM and RISC-V systems.
