MemoraDB is a lightweight, type safe, Redis-like, in-memory key-value store written in TypeScript. It currently supports operations like SET, GET, EXPIRE, and more.

It was my attempt to learn more about Redis and TypeScript.

If MemoraDB is running as a TCP server, you can interact with it using netcat:

nc localhost 7000

Then, you can enter commands like:

SET name MemoraDB
