Redis-like in-memory database for NodeJS clustered applications

memshared

Redis-like in-memory database for NodeJS clustered applications.

Why?

Adding Redis as a dependency will inevitably increase the complexity to your application and your environment. Use this library if you want to keep a simple architecture while at the same time allow you to migrate to a real in-memory database when you feel the need for it.

Usage

import * as cluster from "cluster";
import * as memshared from "memshared";

if (cluster.isMaster) {
  memshared.setup({
    // setup your initial data
  });

  cluster.fork();

} else {
  memshared.set('foo', 'bar');

  memshared.get('foo', function (err, result) {
    console.log(result);
  });

  memshared.del('key');

  memshared.sadd('set', 1);
}

Usage with PM2

You'll need a script to start PM2. See this example.

node pm2/pm2.js
