  • How I imagine the future of databases in the Cloud

    RedisLess is an experiment to provide a fast, lightweight, embedded, and scalable in-memory Key/Value store library compatible with the Redis API. This project aims to check the feasibility of the principle listed above, and in a few days of works we succeed to have:
  • Why you should code in Rust in 2021

    I hope you liked this article, and it gives you the appetite to try out Rust. If you have no idea how to start learning it, I would recommend reading the official free ebook. Then, trying to reimplement some good old academic (or not) algorithms and data structures in Rust. If you want to put your hands into dirty stuff, I can recommend contributing to my project Qovery Engine and RedisLess as well.

    Data is not persisted yet - everything lives in memory and synced to different instances via Raft (not implemented yet). So it will be a volatile K/V store at the moment. In the future, it will be possible to plug another [storage](https://github.com/Qovery/RedisLess/tree/main/redisless/storage/src) to support persistence.

    One such implementation if you are using nodejs is `node-cache` https://github.com/node-cache/node-cache/blob/master/README.md. However you can probably find an implementation for most any language you are using.
  • Caching In Node.js Applications
    6 projects | dev.to | 18 Jan 2022
    In-process caching may be implemented in a Node.js application through libraries, such as node-cache, memory-cache, api-cache, and others. There is a wide variety of distributed caching solutions, but the most popular ones are Redis and Memcached. They are both in-memory key-value stores and optimal for read-heavy workloads or compute-intensive workloads due to their use of memory rather than the slower on-disk storage mechanisms found in traditional database systems.

    If you're looking for a caching library, there are several of them in every language I've ever used. For example, in Node node-cache is very popular (https://github.com/node-cache/node-cache). Every language I've ever worked in has a few of these. They tend to have a pretty similar basic feature set, and they all have at least the same functions that you defined in your project.
