What is KiviDB?
KiviDB is a fast, multi-threaded alternative to Redis® and Valkey, written in Rust. It speaks the Redis protocol (RESP2 and RESP3), so existing Redis clients, redis-cli and libraries work unchanged, and it has full-text and vector search built in. It runs every core on a sharded in-memory key-value design, and persists to snapshots and an optional append-only file.
