🥝 Kiwi

Kiwi is a Key-Value storage server, written from scratch in Go as a personal pet project ands exercise to learn the Go programming language.

It aims to be as an alternative for Redis, and to support at least a subset of the commands provided by Redis, for familarity reasons. As added features, support for strong namespacing would be a nice to have addition.
