## What it is
Redix is a key-value datastore server that speaks the Redis protocol (RESP) while using pluggable storage engines like PostgreSQL and the filesystem as the backend. It lets you use any Redis client to persist data on disk instead of in-memory Redis.

## Use cases
- run a redis-compatible server backed by postgres
- persist key-value data on disk with redis clients
- replace in-memory redis with durable storage
- expose a simple key-value api over the redis protocol
- use redis cli against a postgres-backed datastore

## When to choose
- you want redis protocol compatibility but need disk-backed persistence
- you want to reuse existing storage engines like postgres with a simple key-value interface
- memory constraints make in-memory redis impractical

## When to avoid
- you need full redis feature set like pub/sub, sorted sets, or lua scripting
- you need a battle-tested, actively maintained datastore for production
- you require a project with a clear license

## Facets
- artifact type: service
- maturity: maintenance
- function: database, http-server, caching
- domain: databases, backend, developer-tools
- platform: go, self-hosted
- tags: redis-protocol, key-value-store, storage-engines, postgresql, resp, nosql, linux, macos, docker
