The goal of this development is to create an in-memory cache that can be used by http servers and other services and is faster at retrieving and setting data than conventional databases. It stores data in RAM and provides a simple interface for clients to access their data through a custom protocol built on top of TCP sockets.

• 12 factor app principles
  • codebase tracked in version control
  • no dependencies (no libraries, only built in functions)
  • configurable by environment variables
  • no backing services
  • containerized (build stage)
  • app runs as a singular process (no replica set behavior implemented yet)
  • service exported via port binding
  • runs as a UNIX process
  • graceful shutdown on SIGTERM or SIGINT
  • no production environment yet
  • logs out to stdout
  • no admin processes
• multiple distinct db
• safe user and resource handling with authorization and authentication (PBKDF2_HMAC)
  • users are able to create, list and delete their databases
• single threaded, concurrent working, using the build-in asyncio library
• key expiration can be set (i.e. for expiring sessions)
• persistence on disk using the pickle library
• fast sequential save

• tests
• documentation
