A Redis clone built in Rust, inspired by the Build Your Own Redis challenge by CodeCrafters.

This project implements key Redis functionalities, including RESP parsing, in-memory data storage, key expiration, RDB file loading, and multi-client handling using asynchronous I/O.

• Cargo

git clone https://github.com/Yassen-Higazi/redis-rust.git
cd redis-rust

cargo build

cargo run

cargo run -- -d ./data

This will parse the dump.rdb file in the ./data directory and populate the in-memory store on startup.
