Tendis is a high-performance distributed key-value storage system fully compatible with the Redis protocol, built on RocksDB for disk-based persistent storage. It uses a decentralized gossip-based cluster design similar to Redis Cluster, supporting horizontal scaling, online data migration, and automatic failover.

Use cases

• store redis datasets larger than memory on disk
• run a redis-compatible database with persistent storage
• scale a redis-like kv store to hundreds of nodes
• reduce storage costs for redis workloads with cold data
• self-host a distributed redis alternative

When to choose

• your dataset exceeds available memory and redis costs are too high
• you need redis protocol compatibility with PB-scale disk-backed capacity
• you want a decentralized cluster with automatic failover like redis cluster

When to avoid

• you need the absolute lowest latency of in-memory redis
• you rely on redis commands or features Tendis does not implement
• you need a cross-platform solution - only Linux x64 is supported
