Radix is a full-featured Redis client for Go. See the GoDoc for documentation and general usage examples.
This is the third revision of this project, the previous one has been deprecated but can be found here.
-
Standard print-like API which supports all current and future redis commands.
-
Support for using an io.Reader as a command argument and writing responses to an io.Writer, as well as marshaling/unmarshaling command arguments from structs.
-
Connection pooling, which takes advantage of implicit pipelining to reduce system calls.
-
Helpers for EVAL, SCAN, and manual pipelining.
-
Support for pubsub, as well as persistent pubsub wherein if a connection is lost a new one transparently replaces it.
-
Nearly all important types are interfaces, allowing for custom implementations of nearly anything.
Radix always aims to support the most recent two versions of go, and is likely to support others prior to those two.
Module-aware mode:
go get github.com/mediocregopher/radix/v3
// import github.com/mediocregopher/radix/v3
Legacy GOPATH mode:
go get github.com/mediocregopher/radix
// import github.com/mediocregopher/radix
# requires a redis server running on 127.0.0.1:6379
go test github.com/mediocregopher/radix/v3
Thanks to a huge amount of work put in by @nussjustin, and inspiration from the redispipe project and @funny-falcon, radix/v3 is significantly faster than most redis drivers, including redigo, for normal parallel workloads, and is pretty comparable for serial workloads.
Benchmarks can be run from the bench folder. The following results were obtained
by running the benchmarks with -cpu set to 32 and 64, on a 32 core machine,
with the redis server on a separate machine. See this thread
for more details.
Some of radix's results are not included below because they use a non-default configuration.
