A networked key-value store

shriek

A networked key-value store. This was implemented for the Bradfield School of Computer Science Distributed Systems class.

Demo

make shell    # Pull the test environment docker container
cd shriek     # Enter the workspace
make server   # Makes client, creates a test message, creates server, reads message, and executes behavior.

Docs

The docs/ subdirectory has all planned features and versions documented, as well as documentation for each version of the protocol.

Use case

At the beginning of class, we were asked to pick a specific use case or existing K/V store to model our projects on - I chose Amazon Dynamo.

Protocol design

See PROTOCOL.md.
