An intentionally incomplete Redis client and server implementation in Rust built on Tokio, serving as a large teaching example of idiomatic async Rust. It is explicitly not for production use and omits parts of the Redis protocol.

Use cases

• learn async Rust with Tokio
• study how Redis wire protocol works
• example of building a network server in Rust
• learn structured tracing and OpenTelemetry in Rust
• reference for implementing a client-server protocol

When to choose

• you want a real-world codebase to learn Tokio patterns
• you need a simple reference implementation of the Redis protocol
• you are teaching or studying async networking in Rust

When to avoid

• you need a production Redis server or client
• you need full Redis protocol and command coverage
• you need new features or long-term support
