RedoxDB is a lightweight, in-memory key-value store inspired by Redis. This project was built to understand the internals of high-performance data systems and network protocols.

What I've Built

• Implemented a RESP (Redis Serialization Protocol) parser from scratch
• Created a TCP server in Rust that handles concurrent client connections using Tokio
• Supported core Redis-like commands like SET, GET, DEL, PX
• Built a persistence layer using snapshot method of the DB
• Supported a replication with leader follower architecture

Technologies Used

• Rust for the server backend
• Tokio for async TCP networking
• Next.js for the frontend documentation + terminal UI
• Tailwind CSS for styling

Purpose

This project was built to explore how Redis works under the hood and to apply systems-level and concurrent programming concepts in a real-world style implementation. It's also intended to be a learning resource for others exploring Rust, async networking, or database internals.
