KiviDB is a multi-threaded, Rust-based memory database that offers full Redis protocol compatibility and built-in vector search. Benchmarks indicate it delivers approximately 9x the GET throughput of Redis 8 on identical hardware, with lower latency than Dragonfly. The project aims to provide developers with a high-performance, easily migratable alternative for caching and retrieval infrastructure.

KiviDB Launches: A Rust-based Redis-compatible Memory DB with Vector Search
- Built in Rust, compatible with RESP2/RESP3 protocols, allowing existing Redis clients to work unchanged
- Includes Redis Stack-style FT.* commands supporting FLAT/HNSW vector indexes and full-text search
- Benchmarks show 21 million pipelined GETs per second on a 32-core node, roughly 9x the throughput of Redis 8
