#12Can you compare Beryl with using Rocksdb directly?

Thanks for your input!
It's a TCP-based text protocol. We have implemented a simple protocol (https://github.com/beryldb/beryldb/blob/unstable/include/pro...)
Thank you for your feedback. I am going to update the documentation and explain this issue using a different approach.
Appreciated.

#15Looks interesting! Do you have plans to add aggregations and analytics functions? It seems like you can do simple counting with TOUCH but I didn’t see any SUM etc. Can it run in-memory or just on disk? If in-memory how does it benchmark vs Redis? Thanks and congrats on the launch!

#16Reminded me of that other Beryl, remember that thing? Flames on all my windows and lasers when I clicked, rad.

#17What's the advantage of using BerylDB over Redis? Is it speed, or something else in the feature set (current or future)?

#18Sounds pretty cool! The term is "key/value" FYI.

I was equally confused (read the headline, asked "how is that different from RocksDB?", and then read the explanation that it was based on RocksDB), but it sounds like this is actually an alternative to Redis, not RocksDB. So the difference is that it's exposed over a network, rather than embedded locally.

#20Looks clean and straightforward. Couple of questions...
Similar question on this:
Similar for "connecting class name". It's not clear what things that drives.
