Could you build this?
No A multithreaded, Redis-compatible in-memory database with vector and full-text search is systems-level infrastructure. Protocol compatibility, concurrency, and performance at scale need deep database engineering.
What it would actually take: Building this means implementing the RESP protocol and Redis command semantics in Rust, with a lock-free or sharded in-memory store and persistence. Vector indexes (such as HNSW) and full-text search also need careful engineering. Credibility requires experienced database engineers, extensive correctness and fuzz testing, and benchmarking against Redis and Dragonfly.
