Progressive rehashing kills 200ms pauses, but Redis already does this.

Strengths
  • Distributes O(N) resize work across operations instead of blocking hot path
  • Clear architecture diagrams showing dual-table migration strategy
  • Educational deep-dive on hash table internals most tutorials skip
Weaknesses
  • Redis implements progressive rehashing already with production battle-testing
  • No production benchmarks or clear advantage over established tools
Target Audience

Systems programmers, backend developers building databases

AgentKV – SQLite for AI agent memory (MMAP vector+graph DB)

Single-file mmap storage plus an HNSW vector index and explicit graph edges is an elegant, practical combo — think "SQLite for agent memory" with CRC-32 crash recovery and zero-server convenience. The C++20 core + nanobind gives zero-copy NumPy views and GIL-free searches, and the claimed FAISS-like throughput makes this genuinely interesting for local setups; main caveat is build/toolchain friction and how rich the surrounding ecosystem becomes.
