KeyDB is a database and a faster drop in alternative to Redis.
It offers some enhancements including MVCC non-blocking architecture, cross region- multi-master support, better expiration, TLS encryption, and ModJS.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Designed to handle heavy workloads with a single node benchmarking at over 1 million ops/sec. KeyDB is a multithreaded database and will outperform Redis on a per-node basis.
- Low latency – by keeping data in-memory, KeyDB can serve up data with submillisecond latencies.
- Variety of data structures are supported including strings, hashes, lists, sets, sorted sets, bitmaps, hyperloglogs, geospatial indexes, and streams.
- Multiple persistence options.
- Highly scalable – scale horizontally through active-replication, or cluster-mode (sharded dataset) to meet much larger workloads.
- High availability.
