Ask HN: What's Faster than Redis

Is it even possible to create a faster data structure server? Redis is written in C and made the design choices to be very, very fast.

    It's probably not reasonably possible to make a faster general solution, but you could implement something that maps your specific needs to memory in a faster way, essentially removing the cases that Redis needs to handle that don't apply to your data.
