DescriptionAn embeddable, persistent, simple and fast Key-Value Store, written purely in Go.An embedded key-value store for Go.All data is stored inside objects which are linked by so-called link attributes. Objects consist of classes which can be extended and de-extended at runtime. Graphs can be defined with a struct.A widely adopted Java cache with tiered storage optionsPopular in-memory data platform used as a cache, message broker, and database that can be deployed on-premises, across clouds, and hybrid environments infoRedis focuses on performance so most of its design decisions prioritize high performance and very low latencies.
