Redis Server Clone

This is a simple implementation of a Redis server in Go. It supports basic commands such as PING, ECHO, SET, and GET, along with the ability to set key expiry using the PX argument to the SET command.

This project was done as a part of CodeCrafters Build Your Own Redis Challenge.

Prerequisites

• Go (Golang) installed on your machine
• Basic knowledge of the Redis protocol (RESP)

Usage

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/BenMeehan/Redis-clone.git

2. Navigate to the project directory:

   cd Redis-clone

3. Build the executable:

   go build

4. Run the server:

   ./server

5. Connect to the server using a Redis client (e.g., redis-cli) and start issuing commands:

   redis-cli

   Example commands:

   set mykey myvalue px 1000
   get mykey

Supported Commands

• PING: Responds with PONG to indicate that the server is running.
• ECHO: Echoes back the provided argument.
• SET: Sets a key to a value. Supports optional expiry using the PX argument.
• GET: Retrieves the value of a key. Handles key expiry automatically.
