Safir-mem

Notice

:warning: This is now archived and no longer updated :warning:

It was ambitious (and worked kinda) but became far too unweildy and complicated when it didn't have to. Maybe a rewrite in the future but for now, it's now archived.

Simple in-memory CLI key/value store.

The in-memory version of Safir!

safir-mem starts a service which runs on localhost or 127.0.0.1 on dedicated port 9876.

This can be enabled / diabled with the start and stop commands respectively. Note that when the memcache service is disabled, ALL data contained within it is lost so use wisely.

In cases where you want to save the contents of the memcache, the dump command will allow for the contents to be saved out to disk in JSON format. This behaves as a snapshot as the contents of the cache persist after usage.

Install

To install safir-mem, run cargo install safir-mem.

Requirements

Using this requires that the Rubin CLI be installed.

cargo install rubin-cli
