Another Redis in Rust series. It’s really starting to come together now!
In this post, updating the state to store expiration times + a thread to handle said eviction + the implementation of a small pile more of the general Redis functions.

And I’m back. It’s been a busy month with the [Genuary]([Genuary 2023]) series and life in general, but I’m still thinking about Redis in general 😄.
Up this time, let’s see what the official redis-cli app does when talking to our client and actually start handling some commands. Specifically, the very basic commands: SET and GET. With that, we would actually have a (very very basic) keystore up and running!
Okay, we’ve got a server and we can ping it. Let’s actually make a simple client, so I don’t have to do funny things with echo any more. Specifically, let’s make a REPL!
Following up from Cloning Redis in Rust: RESP [Part 1], we can parse the protocol. So now… let’s do something with it.
The obvious(ish) next step, in my mind? Make a server. It’s all going to be over the network eventually, so it’s either here or storing data. Here it is!
Specifically, my goal is not to build the networking and data structures for this project from scratch. Where there are primitives or libraries that will do something like networking for me, I’m going to use them.
Ergo:
So, how do I write a simple server in Tokio?
