Lux – Drop-in Redis replacement in Rust. 5.6x faster, ~1MB Docker image

In plain words

Lux is a Redis replacement written in Rust that runs in a Docker container of approximately 1MB. It is designed for developers who need Redis functionality with improved performance and a smaller deployment footprint. The tool claims to be 5.6x faster than Redis and can be used as a drop-in replacement, meaning it can integrate into existing systems with minimal changes to code or configuration.

  Drop-in Redis replacement in Rust with 5M+ GET/s2025 · github.com · ▲25

  After the release of Feox DB (https://github.com/mehrantsi/feoxdb), I received a number of questions/requests about a potential service layer on top. I spent the last week and created this Redis compatible server for it which required 2 version releases on Feox itself as well. Benchmark: Feox: redis-benchmark -h 127.0.0.1 -p 6379 -t set,get -n 1000000 -r 1000000 -c 50 -P 64 -q SET: 4016064.25 requests per second, p50=0.639 msec GET: 5208333.50 requests per second, p50=0.335 msec Redis: redis-benchmark -h 127.0.0.1 -p 6379 -t set,get -n 1000000 -r 1000000 -c 50 -P 64…

  A bi-directional, persisted KV store that is faster than Redis2025 · hpkv.io · ▲79

  we've been working on a KV store for the past year or so which is 2-6x faster than Redis (benchmark link below) yet disk persisted! so you get the speed of in-memory KV stores but with disk persistence. To achieve this we've created our custom filesystem that is optimized for our special usecase and we're doing smart batching for writes and predictive fetching for reads. In addition to basic operations, it also provides atomic inc/dec, atomic json patch, range scans and a unique key monitoring mechanism (pub-sub) over WebSockets which essentially allows you to receive notification on…

  I've built a nice home server OSApr 2026 · lightwhale.asklandd.dk · ▲194

  ohai! I've released Lightwhale 3, which is possibly the easiest way to self-host Docker containers. It's a free, immutable Linux system purpose-built to live-boot straight into a working Docker Engine, thereby shortcutting the need for installation, configuration, and maintenance. Its simple design makes it easy to learn, and its low memory footprint should make it especially attractive during these times of RAMageddon. If this has piqued your interest, do check it out, along with its easy-to-follow Getting Started guide. In any event, have a nice day! =)

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
