Keybench – Scriptable, extensible performance tool for key value stores
I've been working with storage engines for quite a while and really there was no similar tool to sysbench and or HammerDB for key-value storage engines. Thus I introduce a POC called keybench. I hope you check it out, and do give it a run to drive your favorite engine. Cheers!

In plain words
Keybench is a scriptable and extensible performance testing tool designed for key-value storage engines. It fills a gap in the market for benchmarking tools similar to sysbench and HammerDB but specifically tailored for key-value stores. The tool allows developers and storage engineers to test and evaluate the performance of their favorite key-value storage engines through customizable scripts and extensions.

Hi HN! I was super frustrated at apps like tiktok and wechat preventing me from saving or downloading the animated gifs, so I made a little tool to turn a screen recording into a slack-sized emoji. Hope you get some value from this!
