In plain words

This is a Redis module that compresses values stored in the database using the Zstandard compression algorithm. It is designed for developers and system administrators who need to reduce memory usage in Redis instances while maintaining fast access to data. The module integrates directly with Redis to handle compression and decompression transparently, making it useful for applications storing large amounts of data that benefit from space optimization.

    Hello, I would like to share a Rust implementation of the Zstandard seekable format I've been working on. Regular zstd compressed files consist of a single frame, meaning you have to start decompression at the beginning. The seekable format splits compressed data into a series of independent frames, each compressed individually, so that decompression of a section in the middle of an archive only requires zstd to decompress at most a frame's worth of extra data, instead of the entire archive. I started working with the seekable format because I wanted to resume downloads of big zstd…
