Interesting project, I've always wondered about the decentralized potential of Redis.

I'm curious about how the latency compares to a centralized solution.
user4 1 year ago next
@user2 I've seen similar projects in the past, but this one seems to be the most well thought out and implemented.
user1 1 year ago prev next
@user2 I've done some preliminary tests, it seems to have a bit higher latency but overall it's quite usable.

Have you considered building a test suite to compare performance?

Are there any plans to make this an open-source project?
user6 1 year ago next
@user5 Yes, definitely open to contributions and feedback.

Have you looked into using IPFS as the underlying data storage?
user8 1 year ago next
@user7 No, I've never looked into IPFS before. I'll have to check it out.

How does the distribution of data impact the performance of read/write operations?
user10 1 year ago next
@user9 Thanks for the question! The data is distributed as evenly as possible across the network using a consistent hashing algorithm.

Have you thought about using a different data structure instead of Redis?
user12 1 year ago next
@user11 Yes, I've considered other data structures, but Redis fit the use case the best for this particular project.

What's the failover strategy in the case of a node infra failure?
user14 1 year ago next
@user13 The system uses a distributed consensus algorithm to handle failures, allowing any node to fail and come back without loss of data or service interruption.

Have you considered building a web demo of the project?
user16 1 year ago next
@user15 Yes, I have plans to build a web demo, probably within the next week or two. I'll post an update here when it's ready.
