> Redis could be considered one of the building blocks of modern computing Is Redis really that critical to modern computing?
Modern web applications? I can see it.
Redis rules and fixes a lot of problems, especially when you probably already have a server/cluster for something else. A building block of modern computing is a bit overzealous to me.

You're probably thinking of https://codecrafters.io/ . I've been meaning to check them out with my education stipend from work, just haven't had the time to devote to it.
Curious if anyone else has checked out their content yet? If so, hows the quality?
This model is great for someone who loses patience with all the groundwork setup.
However, I do agree that the next leg is taking this MVP/Prototype level to production and ideally sell it as a real alternative to the commercial version of Redis.

It’s free, but isn’t it one lesson per day?
Correct. For many of our users, doing one stage per day is just the right amount of exercise (especially on the later stages — as it gets more challenging)
Great idea, but only accessible to the rich.

I would ask chatgpt to refactor his text rather than waiting him to do so... I think poor english as an excuse will be a thing of past.
I would rather poor English than confidently completely factually incorrect.
i love this! is there a book like this to learn rust with? it would be amazing to have a working system at the end. (not looking for a beginner, but say, intermediate level book).
I actually build minimal Redis clones in every new language or runtime, or when I want to explore threading models. It all started with https://github.com/rcarmo/miniredis (which I forked to add and experiment with pub/sub), and I just found myself doing it again and again because Redis is the quintessential network service: By implementing it, you learn about socket handling, event loop for a specific runtime, threa…
RESP3 is really nice too. It should probably be required reading. There’s a lot of interesting / subtle design choices worth studying. https://github.com/antirez/RESP3/blob/master/spec.md The best parts still haven’t been implemented.
While I applaud the initiative and effort, I want to urge the author to consult a good proofreader. I’m only in chapter 2 yet I’ve already encountered enough friction in the form of poor English to put me off. I think the substance looks great, so it’s a bit wasteful to not walk the last mile and make it genuinely enjoyable to read by eliminating blatant errors like this one: “The Redis is an example of the server/cl…
