HyperCache KV
Ultra-low latency in-memory distributed store written in Rust
Project Overview
A distributed key-value store achieving sub-millisecond p99 read latencies using custom lock-free ring buffers and io_uring on Linux.
The Problem It Solves
Traditional centralized caching solutions introduce significant serialization overhead and thread lock contention under high-throughput write spikes.
The Engineering Architecture
Engineered a zero-copy binary network protocol over raw TCP with thread-pinned actor queues, reducing latency spikes by 74% compared to vanilla Redis.
