Ever wondered how Redis, one of the world's most popular in-memory databases, works under the hood? Redis powers the backend infrastructure of countless applications - from caching user sessions in social media platforms to managing real-time leaderboards in gaming applications, storing shopping carts in e-commerce systems, and enabling instant messaging in chat applications. In this comprehensive project, you'll build your own simplified Redis server from scratch, tackling the real-world problem of efficient data storage and retrieval that every high-traffic application faces. This project is perfect for backend developers who want to deepen their understanding of network programming and concurrent systems. After completing this project, you will be able to add it to your portfolio as your own full-scale in-memory database!
