Tellstone v1.0.0

The first stable release of Tellstone — a high-performance, cloud-native in-memory key/value store written in Go.

Highlights

  • Dual protocol support: Zero-copy binary protocol + Redis-compatible RESP2
  • Shared-nothing architecture: One goroutine per shard, no cross-shard coordination
  • Zero-allocation hot path: Flat-matrix timing wheel, in-place value maps, allocation-free parser
  • Optional encryption: ChaCha20-Poly1305 at-rest encryption, zero allocs/op
  • WAL persistence: Per-shard append-only write-ahead log for crash recovery
  • Prometheus metrics: Per-shard + aggregate exporter, zero-alloc serialization
  • OpenTelemetry tracing: OTLP/gRPC integration with configurable sampling

Performance

Scenario vs Redis
Bare-metal 32 CPUs 11.53x Redis
Bare-metal 16 CPUs 5.98x Redis
Cloud SDN (4–60 threads) 1.01–1.05x Redis
Native binary protocol up to 1.47M RPS
