Redis-like database server in Golang

Hello 👋, for the past month I've been developing a very simple Redis clone tool in Golang.

kvstore

The project is called kvstore. kvstore is an in-memory database server with the key-value pair data model (similar to Redis and other in-memory database servers).

See it in action
