Purpose

This is a partial implementation of Redis in Ruby, to learn more about how a server program like Redis could be written in Ruby, following CodeCrafters' Build Your Own Redis challenge. I have written about my experience on my blog at www.jakebills.com

Usage

Running the server

Assuming a ruby installation is present, run the following in the project directory:

$ ./your_program.sh

Testing using redis-cli

In another terminal, make sure you have redis-cli and don't already have a redis server running on port 6379, and run:

$ redis-cli PING
  PONG
$ redis-cli ECHO hi
  hi
$ redis-cli SET foo bar
  OK
$ redis-cli GET foo
  "bar"
