Indeed. Having Redis available as embedded DB opens up a lot of possibilities
that are not possible with the server only version.

I am unable for various reasons, some legitimate and some silly, to use redis
as a separate server process for my production code. The silly reasons include
territorial issues with the dba group, and the UNIX engineering group.
Legitimate concerns are the addition of another point of failure outside the
production process and the problem of who would maintain a general service for
a shared facility.
The first question I was asked when broaching the idea was "would this mean our
server would be unable to function if the redis server were unavailable?"
An embedded version would allow me to include the library in my production
service while owning the responsibility for maintenance of redis in our
environment, eliminate it as an external point of failure, and depending on the
implementation, eliminate much of the networking overhead.

Did this get traction?

It did not get traction. If you want to get something that behaves
transparently like it was running in-process (and communicates over unix domain
socket), you can fork your main process, then run one of the exec*() functions
in the child to start Redis. The Redis process would then get the same PID as
the child process, and would look more or less like an embedded database.

Good point.

I've just stumbled upon this looking for evidence of any K/V stores which are
suitable for being embedded… it's a shame it's not possible - but the idea of
forking a local copy is workable. I'm not sure about utility on Win32, but
that's a whole other topic!

Would love to see an embeddable version of Redis. For the record, an embeddable
Mongo can be started as:
MongodStarter runtime = MongodStarter.getDefaultInstance();
mongodExe = runtime.prepare(new MongodConfigBuilder()
.version(Version.Main.PRODUCTION)
.net(new Net(MONGO_PORT, Network.localhostIsIPv6()))
.build());
mongod = mongodExe.start();
Complete sample at:

Would love something similar and simpler for Redis.

This tracker is no longer used. You can go to https://github.com/antirez/redis
to actually file a bug. That said... embedded Redis isn't going to happen from
Salvatore - there are far more users that are interested in Redis Cluster,
Redis Sentinel, and the existing Redis ecosystem.
