# Redis from scratch

A stripped down redis-server clone written as a hobby project. It is not intended to be used in production. No external dependencies were used for development.

## Prequisites

Have Go installed.

## Usage

- Clone the repo

- Run by executing 

```

go run .

```

- Or build and run using 

```

go build . && ./redis

```

- Connect to the server with any redis client. For example, `redis-cli`. The server listens on port `6379` by default.

```

$ redis-cli

```

## Supported commands

- PING

- SET

- GET

- DEL

- MSET

- MGET

- HSET

- HGET

- HDEL

- EXISTS

- HEXISTS

## Persistence

The `encoding/gob` package is used to asynchronously create a dump of the store in a binary file called `dump.rdb` every one second. This `dump.rdb` file is used to restore the data when then server is restarted in the same directory.
