CC-Redis: Custom Redis Server CLI

CC-Redis is a command-line interface (CLI) designed to manage a custom Redis server. This project is part of a coding challenge from Coding Challenges.

Project Overview

CC-Redis provides tools to launch and interact with a Redis server, supporting custom configurations to suit various deployment environments. The CLI is designed for efficiency and flexibility, allowing users to specify server options directly from the command line.

Prerequisites

Before running CC-Redis, ensure you have the following installed:

• Redis: CC-Redis requires Redis installed on your machine for full functionality. Download and install it from Redis's official website.
• Go (at least version 1.13): CC-Redis is written in Go. Download and install it from Go's official website.

Features

• Interactive CLI mode for executing Redis commands like SET, GET, DEL, PING, and ECHO.
• Communication via RESP (REdis Serialization Protocol), making it compatible with Redis clients.
• Configurable options for server port and host.
• Benchmark testing for server performance.

Installation

To install CC-Redis, follow these steps:

git clone https://github.com/nullsploit01/cc-redis.git
cd cc-redis
go build -o ccredis-server ./server
go build -o ccredis-cli ./cli

Usage

To start the Redis server, run:

./ccredis-server --port 6379 --host localhost

To connect to the server and enter interactive mode, use:

./ccredis-cli --port 6379 --host localhost

Once connected, you will see a prompt to start issuing commands, similar to the following:

Connected to ccredis-server at localhost:6379
> SET key value
OK
> GET key
value
> DEL key
OK
> PING
PONG
> ECHO "Hello, CC-Redis!"
Hello, CC-Redis!

Benchmark Testing

To test the performance of SET and GET commands, use the redis-benchmark tool. This command will run 100,000 operations for SET and GET and display the results:

redis-benchmark -t set,get -n 100000 -q

Benchmark Results

SET: 206611.58 requests per second, p50=0.127 msec
GET: 206185.56 requests per second, p50=0.127 msec

These results indicate that CC-Redis achieves high throughput for basic operations, with minimal latency under typical workloads.
