In this series of articles, we will embark on a journey to build a Redis clone using Rust. This project, named Nimblecache, is a personal project to deepen my understanding of Rust. Inspired by the CodeCrafter's Build Your Own Redis course, which I highly recommend, I have used it as a foundational guide for creating Nimblecache.

Parts

This series is a work in progress. Each new part will build on the previous ones, gradually adding more features to Nimblecache. Stay tuned for future updates!
