This article introduces Microsoft’s Garnet, an open‑source, Redis‑compatible in‑memory data store built on .NET, outlines its architecture, core advantages, supported APIs, and technical features, and provides step‑by‑step instructions for cloning, building a Docker image, and running the server.
The study benchmarks Tencent Cloud KeeWiDB with YCSB workloads, showing that its Redis‑compatible KV service delivers up to 149 k QPS reads and 127 k QPS writes for 128‑byte strings, out‑performing self‑built Pika and Redis clusters, though larger values suffer bandwidth throttling, confirming KeeWiDB as a low‑cost, high‑performance option for small‑value, read‑heavy use cases.
In this interview, Kvrocks PMC Lin Tianyi explains the challenges of large‑scale storage, the architecture and replication model of Kvrocks, its open‑source community roles, Redis‑compatible clustering, migration commands, future roadmap, and his perspective on the Chinese open‑source ecosystem.
Tendis, an open‑source distributed KV store developed by Tencent, combines full Redis protocol compatibility with RocksDB persistence, a decentralized gossip‑based cluster architecture, horizontal scalability to thousands of nodes, and cost‑effective hot‑cold data mixing, making it suitable for large‑scale, high‑throughput workloads.
The article recaps the 2017 Pika community salon in Beijing, explains Pika’s design as a high‑capacity Redis‑compatible storage, showcases real‑world deployments at 360, Huanxin and Weibo, and shares insights from four technical talks along with event highlights and resources.
