About KeyDB
KeyDB is a fully open source database backed by Snap and a faster drop-in alternative to Redis. It targets applications that require high throughput, low latency, and an easy migration path from Redis, serving developers and operations teams building scalable, Redis-compatible workloads.
Key Features
KeyDB delivers a Redis-compatible runtime designed for scale, with real-time performance and cross-region reliability that matter to operators and developers alike:
MVCC Non-Blocking Architecture
MVCC provides snapshots to enable concurrent queries and reduces blocking calls like SCAN and KEYS.
Cross Region Multi-Master Support
Asynchronous multi-master replication with last-write-wins enables a single replicated dataset across regions without sentinel-based failover.
High Throughput & Multithreading
Multithreaded engine delivering high per-node throughput, with benchmarks over 1 million ops/sec on a single node.
TLS Encryption
TLS support with multithreaded design helps minimize the throughput impact of encryption.
Summary
Best for developers building Redis-compatible caches at scale, platform teams running distributed services, and engineers evaluating cross-region multi-master deployments.
