KeyDB is a high-performance, multithreaded fork of the popular Redis in-memory data structure store. Designed by Snapchat to handle massive throughput requirements, KeyDB addresses the single-threaded limitations of Redis by utilizing multiple CPU cores for request processing, leading to significantly higher performance. It is a fully open-source database that acts as a faster, drop-in alternative to Redis, maintaining API compatibility.
Redis uses a single main thread to process all commands. While this simplifies internals (no locks, predictable performance), it leaves modern multi-core CPUs underutilized. keydb eng
