I have written a lot of Erlang code over the years, including an Erlang Redis clone which had some interesting performance characteristics[1] ... though not recently, I went too far down the engineering management track at Snap and elsewhere... but I worked closely with Fernando "El Brujo"[2] when he was CTO of my consultancy. If you want to see beautiful, canonical Erlang code, he's still slinging it out. Dig through his repos on Github, or better yet, ask him to provide his suggestions.

We (me and some folks at my old consultancy) wrote an Erlang version of Redis (https://github.com/cbd/edis) for some of the same reasons - multithreading changes some of the scaling semantics in interesting ways. It was mostly for fun but ended up in some real projects as a simple REDIS protocol implementation front-end where the backend could be replaced with whatever the implementor wants.

This came up in the discussion of "Redis as the primary data store?" -> https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5620960 And I was wondering if anyone was using it - and what they thought… -- Also the github repo link: https://github.com/inaka/edis

iOS, Rails, Erlang freelancer + devs. I have numerous apps in the store. We work remotely from Buenos Aires. About half of the time, we work on projects until we can handoff to a local team. The other half we'll put someone on the project long term. I'm currently looking to pick up another project. I was formerly a VP of Engineering for Good Technology, based in Seattle and Redwood Shores. I have worked with Palm, all flavors of MS Windows mobile platforms, Symbian S60, etc. I built: MTV WatchWith - MTV's flagship socia media app - http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/mtv-watchwith/id422366403?mt=... VH1 Co-Star - Also built (and host) the server for both of these) Whisper - anonymous social media app (we wrote the server and admin as well) NCM's MovieNightOut (iOS and Android) Campus Sentinel (iOS and Android) http://github.com/inaka/edis - o

Indeed I hadn't -- Edis doesn't rank highly for searches involving "LevelDB + Redis" which could be how it avoided me for so long. This sounds like what I envisioned, so I'll be looking at it with a keen interest =] The real question is how they implemented the encoding of the Redis data structures into the LevelDB SSTable format and the implications that will have on performance. If the Github issues are any indication it's an interesting proof of concept but hasn't been used or tested widely yet[1]. Along those lines, leveldb-server also looks interesting as a simple (API) and easy to install LevelDB backed DB.
