High performance .NET: Building a Redis Clone – skipping strings

High performance .NET: Building a Redis Clone – skipping strings

June 27, 2022

One of the high costs that we have right now in my Redis Clone is strings. That is actually a bit misleading, take a look here: Strings take 12.57% of the runtime, but there is also the GC Wait, where we need to cleanup after them.

Now that I’m done with the low hanging fruits, I decided to shift the Redis implementation to use System.IO.Pipelines. That is a high performance I/O API that is meant specifically for servers that need to eke out all the performance out of the system. The API is a bit different, but it follows a very logical pattern and makes a lot of sense. Here…

The value of self contained diagnostics

The value of self contained diagnostics
