KeyDB
The Faster Redis Alternative

KeyDB is an open-source, multithreaded database built as a high-performance drop-in alternative to Redis. It offers features like active replication, cross-region multi-master support, MVCC non-blocking architecture, and subkey expiration. Designed to handle heavy workloads, it benchmarks at over 1 million ops/sec on a single node.
KeyDB extends Redis with a multithreaded architecture and MVCC implementation, allowing it to handle more operations per second, support active replication, and serve non-blocking queries concurrently.
