A software engineer has developed an ultra-fast key-value store, outperforming popular Redis by orders of magnitude. The single-threaded in-memory storage engine can achieve 20x faster write speeds and 5x faster read speeds compared to Redis. The project's author implemented a simple parser for GET, SET, DEL, SAVE, and LOAD commands and used C programming language to avoid fighting memory management systems.
