Question 1

Is Redeo production-ready for building custom Redis servers?

Accepted Answer

Redeo is designed for high performance and is used in niche scenarios, but since it requires manual implementation of all features, production readiness depends heavily on your code quality and testing. It's best for controlled environments where custom logic is a priority.

Question 2

How to add authentication to a Redeo server?

Accepted Answer

You can implement authentication using command wrappers or middleware functions in Redeo. For instance, wrap commands to validate credentials before execution, but specific details aren't in the README, so you'll need to write custom code for token checks or password verification.

Question 3

What are the performance benchmarks for Redeo compared to Redis itself?

Accepted Answer

Redeo is optimized for protocol handling, but performance depends on your implementation; for raw RESP serialization, it's fast, but Redis has years of tuning for its full command set. Benchmark your specific use case, as Redeo excels in custom, lightweight servers.

Question 4

Redeo vs go-redis for creating a Redis-compatible service?

Accepted Answer

Redeo is for building servers that speak the Redis protocol, while go-redis is a client library for connecting to Redis servers. Use Redeo if you need to implement custom server logic; use go-redis if you just need to interact with an existing Redis instance.

Question 5

Can I use Redeo to build a Redis proxy or gateway?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Redeo's RESP primitives and server framework make it ideal for building proxies or gateways that understand and forward Redis protocol commands, as highlighted in its best-for scenarios like implementing specialized middleware.

Question 6

How to handle concurrency in Redeo servers?

Accepted Answer

Redeo servers handle concurrency out of the box, but you must manage shared state carefully, as shown in the examples with sync.RWMutex for thread-safe data access. Use Go's concurrency primitives to avoid race conditions in custom handlers.
