Yep. This is a quintessential example of “I’m going to learn by recreating the essence of a complex thing”… taken to the end. And then a logo is slapped on top. I’m all for js libs but this is not performant. Just use redis.

Can you run Redis in browser? You can’t.
Is an in-process, in-memory database faster than making a query over network? Yes it is.
no need an extra layer of abstraction to get an "in memory" database in javascript. no need, babel, webpack, ChatGpt, npm and 10000 libraries for this really.
Let me show (works even on the browser):
const KV = {};
KV["credentials"] = {access_key: "XXXX", secret: "YYYY"};
console.log(KV["credentials"].secret);
Maybe? Depends on the rest of the software you’d be developing and what features and abstractions you’d need.
The point was that “just use redis” is a poor and incorrect advice.

Now show me the rest of the functionality of the OP library like TTL.
Someone already replied to this in another comment.
