Is there a single sentence anywhere that describes what it actually is?

seems like a key store, with an ability to watch/subscribe to monitor for the change of values in real time

Even clicking through to the Github, after reading the "What is DiceDB?", I'm still not very clear. It feels more like marketing than information.

"What is DiceDB? DiceDB is an open-source, fast, reactive, in-memory database optimized for modern hardware. Commonly used as a cache, it offers a familiar interface while enabling real-time data updates through query subscriptions. It delivers higher throughput and lower median latencies, making it ideal for modern workloads."

I've seen this more and more with software landing pages, they are somehow so deep into developing/marketing that they totally forget to say what the thing actually is or does, that's why you show it to family and friends first to get some fresh eyes before publishing the site.

No. I had the exact same problem.

Feels arrogant. "Of course you already know what this is, how could you not?"
