In-Memory Key-Value Store with TCP Interface

A networked key-value store that accepts simple text commands (GET/SET/DEL) over TCP using Boost.Asio, backed by an in-memory hash map with optional periodic snapshotting to disk. Learners practice asynchronous networking with Boost.Asio, protocol design, and thread-safe data structures.

Project roadmap

  1. 01

    Set up the Boost.Asio TCP acceptor

    ~2h

    Create an async TCP server that accepts incoming client connections.

  2. 02

    Implement the command protocol parser

    ~2h

    Parse newline-delimited GET/SET/DEL text commands from each client connection.

  3. 03

    Implement the thread-safe store

    ~2h

    Back the store with std::unordered_map protected by a mutex, exposing get/set/delete operations.

  4. 04

    Wire commands to store operations and responses

    ~1.5h

    Execute parsed commands against the store and write back a response line to the client.

  5. 05

    Add periodic snapshotting to disk

    ~2h

    Add a background timer that serializes the current store to a file every N seconds for durability.
