Hey, nice project, but I'm wondering if I'm just missing any _test.go files, or if there are none ?

Especially for the performance claims these or a Readme on how to replicate them would be great.

Looking at the feature list, what doesn’t it do?

Where is the benchmark script? I would like to see the scenario, client used and machine config.

Don't take me wrong but from just skimming over the readme I can't believe the numbers.

Lots of bold claims for something with a single release straight to v1...

I'd be curious how this compares to NATS, most of all. Or even etcd

Based on what exactly?

The “Lua engine” seems to support only one, hardcoded, command (redis.call) with no other syntax/lua operators! It even lacks conditionals! https://github.com/wutlu/boltcache/blob/main/lua.go

the entire benchmark part of the readme was added by an ai bot last week in a random swagger PR ? :D https://github.com/wutlu/boltcache/pull/1/files#diff-b335630...

this looks like an entirely AI built project from start to finish. there's 10 emoji filled commits and two obvisouly ai PRs. I think the description of the first commit reflects the prompt it was given:

- High-performance Redis-compatible cache with REST API - 30-50% faster than Redis using Go's concurrency - RESTful API with HTTP/JSON interface - Pub/Sub messaging with WebSocket support - Complex data types: String, List, Set, Hash - Token-based authentication and security - YAML-based configuration management - Docker and Kubernetes support - Comprehensive documentation and examples - Postman collection and interactive web client
