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

Arpit here. DiceDB is an in-memory database that is also reactive. So, instead of polling the database for changes, the database pushes the resultset if you subscribe to it. We have a similar set of commands as Redis, but are not Redis-compliant.

This is a lot clearer than any information I found anywhere else. There wasn't any room on your website, README, or docs for this summary?

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

Yes. With DiceDB clients can "WATCH" the output of the commands and upon the change in data, the resultset are streamed to the subscribers.

Nope. it started as Redis clone. We are on a different trajectory now. Chasing different goals.

What are those goals? I was struggling to interpret a meaningful roadmap from the issue & commit history.

Can't wait to feel the impact of garbage collection in my fast cache!

We had a similar thought, but it is not as bad as we think.

We have the benchmarks, and we will be sharing the numbers in subsequent releases.

But, there is still a chance that I may come to bite us and limit us to a smaller scale, and we are ready for it.

I love the "Follow on twitter" link with the old logo and everything, they probably used a template that hasn't been updated recently but I'm choosing to believe it's actually a subtle sign of protest or resistance.

Just use Bluesky. It’s the better middle finger.

It is right there on the landing page. But, let me highlight it a bit.
