Radix

Radix is a full-featured Redis client for Go. See the reference links below for documentation and general usage examples.

v3 Documentation

v4 Documentation

Discussion/Support Chat

Please open an issue, or start a discussion in the chat, before opening a pull request!

Features

  • Standard print-like API which supports all current and future redis commands.

  • Connection pool which uses connection sharing to minimize system calls.

  • Full support for Sentinel and Cluster.

  • Helpers for EVAL, SCAN, Streams, and Pipelining.

  • Support for pubsub, as well as persistent pubsub wherein if a connection is lost a new one transparently replaces it.

  • API design allows for custom implementations of nearly anything.

Versions

There are two major versions of radix being supported:

  • v3 is the more mature version, but lacks the polished API of v4. v3 is only accepting bug fixes at this point.

  • v4 has feature parity with v3 and more! The biggest selling points are:

    • More polished API.
    • Full RESP3 support.
    • Support for context.Context on all blocking operations.
    • Connection sharing (called "implicit pipelining" in v3) now works with Pipeline and EvalScript.

    View the CHANGELOG for more details.

Installation and Usage

Radix always aims to support the most recent two versions of go, and is likely to support others prior to those two.

Module-aware mode:

go get github.com/mediocregopher/radix/v3
// import github.com/mediocregopher/radix/v3

go get github.com/mediocregopher/radix/v4
// import github.com/mediocregopher/radix/v4

Testing

# requires a redis server running on 127.0.0.1:6379
go test github.com/mediocregopher/radix/v3
go test github.com/mediocregopher/radix/v4

Benchmarks

Benchmarks were run in as close to a "real" environment as possible. Two GCE instances were booted up, one hosting the redis server with 2vCPUs, the other running the benchmarks (found in the bench directory) with 16vCPUs.

The benchmarks test a variety of situations against many different redis drivers, and the results are very large. You can view them here. Below are some highlights (I've tried to be fair here):

For a typical workload, which is lots of concurrent commands with relatively small amounts of data, radix outperforms all tested drivers except redispipe:

BenchmarkDrivers/parallel/no_pipeline/small_kv/radixv4-64                    	17815254	      2917 ns/op	     199 B/op	       6 allocs/op
BenchmarkDrivers/parallel/no_pipeline/small_kv/radixv3-64                    	16688293	      3120 ns/op	     109 B/op	       4 allocs/op
BenchmarkDrivers/parallel/no_pipeline/small_kv/redigo-64                     	 3504063	     15092 ns/op	     168 B/op	       9 allocs/op
BenchmarkDrivers/parallel/no_pipeline/small_kv/redispipe_pause150us-64       	31668576	      1680 ns/op	     217 B/op	      11 allocs/op
BenchmarkDrivers/parallel/no_pipeline/small_kv/redispipe_pause0-64           	31149280	      1685 ns/op	     218 B/op	      11 allocs/op
BenchmarkDrivers/parallel/no_pipeline/small_kv/go-redis-64                   	 3768988	     14409 ns/op	     411 B/op	      13 allocs/op

The story is similar for pipelining commands concurrently (radixv3 doesn't do as well here, because it doesn't support connection sharing for pipeline commands):

BenchmarkDrivers/parallel/pipeline/small_kv/radixv4-64                       	24720337	      2245 ns/op	     508 B/op	      13 allocs/op
BenchmarkDrivers/parallel/pipeline/small_kv/radixv3-64                       	 6921868	      7757 ns/op	     165 B/op	       7 allocs/op
BenchmarkDrivers/parallel/pipeline/small_kv/redigo-64                        	 6738849	      8080 ns/op	     170 B/op	       9 allocs/op

BenchmarkDrivers/parallel/pipeline/small_kv/redispipe_pause0-64              	45290868	      1126 ns/op	     315 B/op	      12 allocs/op
BenchmarkDrivers/parallel/pipeline/small_kv/go-redis-64                      	 6740984	      7903 ns/op	     475 B/op	      15 allocs/op

For larger amounts of data being transferred the differences become less noticeable, but both radix versions come out on top:

BenchmarkDrivers/parallel/no_pipeline/large_kv/radixv4-64                    	 2395707	     22766 ns/op	   12553 B/op	       4 allocs/op
BenchmarkDrivers/parallel/no_pipeline/large_kv/radixv3-64                    	 3150398	     17087 ns/op	   12745 B/op	       4 allocs/op
BenchmarkDrivers/parallel/no_pipeline/large_kv/redigo-64                     	 1593054	     34038 ns/op	   24742 B/op	       9 allocs/op
BenchmarkDrivers/parallel/no_pipeline/large_kv/redispipe_pause150us-64       	 2105118	     25085 ns/op	   16962 B/op	      11 allocs/op
BenchmarkDrivers/parallel/no_pipeline/large_kv/redispipe_pause0-64           	 2354427	     24280 ns/op	   17295 B/op	      11 allocs/op
BenchmarkDrivers/parallel/no_pipeline/large_kv/go-redis-64                   	 1519354	     35745 ns/op	   14033 B/op	      14 allocs/op

All results above show the high-concurrency results (-cpu 64). Concurrencies of 16 and 32 are also included in the results, but didn't show anything different.

For serial workloads, which involve a single connection performing commands one after the other, radix is either as fast or within a couple % of the other drivers tested. This use-case is much less common, and so when tradeoffs have been made between parallel and serial performance radix has general leaned towards parallel.
