Redis Server in C

This project is a lightweight Redis server implementation in C, created as part of the Coding Challenges project.

Features

• RESP (REdis Serialization Protocol) implementation
• Support for basic Redis commands (PING, ECHO, SET (no expiry options), GET)
• GoogleTest for unit testing
• Cmake for building

System Requirements

• Linux operating system (or other Unix-like systems)
• CMake (version 3.10 or higher)cmake
• GCC or Clang compiler with C11 support

Build Instructions

This project uses CMake for building.

mkdir build
cmake -S . -B build
cmake --build build

Running the server

After building the project, you can run the server with the following command

./build/redis-lite

The server will start listening on port 6379 by default.

Once the server is running, you can use redis-cli to test various commands.

Start the redis-cli, and connect to the server.

redis-cli
127.0.0.1:6379> PING
PONG
127.0.0.1:6379> ECHO "Hello World"
"Hello World"
127.0.0.1:6379> SET Name Randy
OK
127.0.0.1:6379> GET Name
Randy
127.0.0.1:6379> SET Count 1
OK
127.0.0.1:6379> GET Count
1

Running Tests

After building the project, you can run the tests using CTest, CMake's testing tool. Follow these steps:

cd build
ctest
