DiceDB is an open-source, fast, reactive, in-memory database optimized for modern hardware. Commonly used as a cache, it offers a familiar interface while enabling real-time data updates through query subscriptions. It delivers higher throughput and lower median latencies, making it ideal for modern workloads.
The easiest way to get started with DiceDB is using Docker by running the following command.
$ docker run -p 7379:7379 dicedb/dicedb:latestThe above command will start the DiceDB server running locally on the port 7379 and you can connect
to it using DiceDB CLI and SDKs.
