"Rust Projects: Write a Redis Clone" by Leonardo Giordani is a practical guide aimed at teaching readers how to build a Redis-like database using Rust and the Tokio framework. The book is currently 40% complete and focuses on asynchronous programming and the actor model. It introduces essential programming concepts such as TCP connections, the RESP protocol, and concurrency, making complex topics more accessible. The project follows the CodeCrafters challenge, allowing readers to progressively learn by implementing key Redis commands like GET and SET, as well as managing client connections and key expiry mechanisms. The book also plans to cover advanced features like replication and transactions, making it a valuable resource for both beginners and those looking to deepen their Rust knowledge. Additionally, it offers a 40% discount code for CodeCrafters.io and includes a 60-day money-back guarantee for purchases. The author, Leonardo Giordani, has a background in various programming languages and has previously published works on technical subjects.

8 commentsI intend to look into this book as I find the topic interesting. But do feel that it's tackling some of the more cumbersome areas of rust. I'm also curious if there will be an effort to be binary file compatible.
With the Redis licensing kerfuffle and since fork of valkey I wonder about some of the other redis alike databases there are and will be. I think that rust is just a hard fit for this use case. But who knows.
Shall we wait until it reaches 100% first and then people buy it?
