Gerdu is a distributed key-value in-memory database server written in Go programming language.
Currently, it supports two eviction policy LFU and LRU.
It also supports for weak reference type of cache where the cache consumes as much memory as the garbage collector allows it to use.
You can enable gRPC, redis HTTP and memcached and enjoy taking advantage of all protocols simultaneously.
- Wire protocol support for Redis and memcached
- Different eviction policy LRU, LFU, weak
- gRPC and HTTP protocol support
- Distributed and fault-tolerant via Raft
- Telemetry features through Prometheus
go build -v
Usage of gerdu:
-capacity string
The size of cache, once cache reached this capacity old values will evicted.
Specify a numerical value followed by one of the following units (not case sensitive)
K or KB: Kilobytes
M or MB: Megabytes
G or GB: Gigabytes
T or TB: Terabytes (default "64MB")
-cert string
SSL certificate public key
-grpcport int
the grpc server port number (default 8081)
-host string
The host that server listens (default "127.0.0.1")
-httpport int
the http server port number (default 8080)
-id string
Node ID (default "master")
-join string
Set join address, if any
-key string
SSL certificate private key
-log string
log level can be any of values of 'panic', 'fatal', 'error', 'warn', 'info', 'debug', 'trace' (default "info")
-mcdport int
the memcached server port number (default 11211)
-protocols string
protocol 'grpc', 'redis' or 'mcd' (memcached), multiple comma-separated values, http is not optional
-raft string
Set Raft bind address (default "127.0.0.1:12000")
-storage string
Path to store log files and snapshot, will store in memory if not set
-type string
type of cache, lru or lfu, weak (default "lru")
Example of usage: To insert or update or delete a key
foo@bar:~$ ./gerdu --protocols=http,grpc,mcd --log trace
INFO[0000] Gerdu started listening HTTP on 127.0.0.1:8080
INFO[0000] Gerdu started memcached server on 127.0.0.1:11211
INFO[0000] Gerdu started listening gRPC on 127.0.0.1:8081
foo@bar:~$ curl --request PUT --data '1' http://localhost:8080/cache/1
foo@bar:~$ curl --request GET --data '1' http://localhost:8080/cache/1
1
foo@bar:~$ curl --request PUT --data '2' http://localhost:8080/cache/2
foo@bar:~$ curl --request PUT --data '3' http://localhost:8080/cache/3
foo@bar:~$ curl --request PUT --data 'some new value' http://localhost:8080/cache/3
foo@bar:~$ curl --request DELETE http://localhost:8080/cache/3 # Delete key 3
foo@bar:~$ curl --request GET localhost:8080/cache/3 # Not found 404
To retrieve the key
foo@bar:~$ curl --request GET localhost:8080/cache/3
Gerdu can be ran in either single mode or distributed mode.
You need to specify --raft
, --id
, --join
parameters to join an existing node.
foo@bar:~$ ./gerdu -httpport 8083 --join :8080 --id node1 --raft :12003
foo@bar:~$ ./gerdu -httpport 8084 --join :8080 --id node2 --raft :12004
