Apache Kvrocks is a distributed key-value NoSQL database that uses RocksDB as its storage engine and remains compatible with the Redis protocol. The goal is clear: reduce memory costs and increase capacity compared to Redis, by persisting data to disk rather than keeping everything in RAM.

Because it speaks the same protocol as Redis and implements its main data structures (String, Hash, List, Set, Sorted Set, Bitmap, Stream…), Kvrocks works with existing Redis clients, without rewriting your applications. It offers asynchronous replication via binlog, high availability through Redis Sentinel, and a cluster mode to distribute the load.

An Apache Foundation project, Kvrocks is designed for teams that need the simplicity and richness of Redis, but for large, durable volumes at a controlled cost: queues, sessions, counters, persistent caches, or application metadata.
