SYNOPSIS

use Redis::SQLite;

my $r = Redis::SQLite->new();
$r->set( "foo", "bar" );

$r->incr( "counter");

DESCRIPTION

This module allows you to easily migrate your applications from storing their data in Redis to using SQLite instead.

Simply change from use Redis to use Redis::SQLite and your code should continue to work.

This module is compatible with the original Redis client-library, providing you're only performing SET-related operations, and simple operations.

Specifically this means we do not support the following:

• Hashes.
• Hyperlog
• Lists.
• Pub/Sub
• Scripting
• Transactions.
• Zsets.

MOTIVATION

I had a server which was unexpectedly popular, and this service was using too much RAM because of all the data stored in Redis.

Although popular in terms of volume the service wasn't so stressed that using SQLite would cause problems - but I didn't want to rewrite it unnecessarily.

Instead it seemed like cloning the Redis API but writing all the data to an SQLite database in the background would be a good approach.
