# KitKey
Ever wondered what it would be like if Redis hadn't become a fat beast? 👊💩
Well, we wanted to keep it simple and really target the .net environment... so we wrote KitKey. A low latency, high-performance, and reliable persistent or ephemeral key-value store over TCP/IP utilizing RocksDB for persistence, wrapped in a partitioned memory cache for level-1 caching, an optional web-service API, management interface, and accompanying nuget packages for server and client.
You can run the KitKey server either from the nuget package or by downloading the dedicated [service installer](https://github.com/NTDLS/KitKey/releases)
KitKey key-value stores are "strongly typed", it supports stores for int32, int64, float, double, date-time and guid.
In addition to single value key-value stores, KitKey also supports lists of values for a single key, where you can push-first, push-last, get the entire list, get the first or last item and of course remove items from the list.
## Testing Status
[](https://github.com/NTDLS/KitKey/actions/workflows/Regression%20Tests.yaml)
## Packages 📦
- **Server:** https://www.nuget.org/packages/NTDLS.KitKey.Server
- **Client:** https://www.nuget.org/packages/NTDLS.KitKey.Client
## See also:

## Server
Besides running the dedicated service using the installer, you can run the server from code:
```csharp
var serverConfig = new KkServerConfiguration()
{
PersistencePath = Path.GetDirectoryName(Environment.ProcessPath)
};
var server = new KkServer(serverConfig);
server.Start(KkDefaults.DEFAULT_KEYSTORE_PORT);
Console.WriteLine("Press [enter] to stop.");
Console.ReadLine();
server.Stop();
```
## Client (single value)
The client is quite configurable, but the basic connection, store creation and get, set, delete it straight forward.
```csharp
var client = new KkClient();
client.Connect("localhost", KkDefaults.DEFAULT_KEYSTORE_PORT);
var storeConfig = new KkStoreConfiguration("MyFirstStore")
{
PersistenceScheme = KkPersistenceScheme.Ephemeral,
ValueType = KkValueType.String
};
client.CreateStore(storeConfig);
for (int i = 0; i < 100000; i++)
{
var randomKey = Guid.NewGuid().ToString().Substring(0, 4);
var randomValue = Guid.NewGuid().ToString();
//Add a string value
client.Set("MyFirstStore", randomKey, randomValue);
//Get the value we just set.
var retrievedValue = client.Get("MyFirstStore", randomKey);
}
Console.WriteLine("Press [enter] to stop.");
Console.ReadLine();
client.Disconnect();
```
Getting, setting, and deleting a key-value to/from the key store server.
```csharp
//Set a value:
client.Set("MyFirstStore", "Key_Name", "Some text value");
//Get a value:
var value = client.Get("MyFirstStore", "Key_Name");
//Delete a value:
client.Remove("MyFirstStore", "Key_Name");
```
## Client (list value)
KitKey also supports creating lists of values for a given key.
```csharp
var client = new KkClient();
client.Connect("localhost", KkDefaults.DEFAULT_KEYSTORE_PORT);
var storeConfig = new KkStoreConfiguration("MyFirstStore")
{
PersistenceScheme = KkPersistenceScheme.Ephemeral,
ValueType = KkValueType.ListOfStrings
};
client.CreateStore(storeConfig);
for (int i = 0; i < 100000; i++)
{
var randomValue = Guid.NewGuid().ToString();
//Push a list item to the key-store. You can also PushFirst().
client.PushLast("MyFirstStore", "KeyOfListValue", randomValue);
//Get the value we just set.
var retrievedList = client.GetList("MyFirstStore", "KeyOfListValue");
var firstListValue = client.GetLast("MyFirstStore", "KeyOfListValue");
var lastListValue = client.GetFirst("MyFirstStore", "KeyOfListValue");
//Remove item from the list.
client.RemoveListItemByKey("MyFirstStore", "KeyOfListValue", lastListValue.Id);
}
Console.WriteLine("Press [enter] to stop.");
Console.ReadLine();
client.Disconnect();
```
