The goal is to build a Redis-compatible application in pure Zig. Ideally, we're doing this with no external dependencies and are using this as an opportunity to really understand how Redis works under the hood. I've done a bit of this challenge before with Go, but haven't finished it, but Im hoping to finish the Zig version (and then maybe go back and finish the Go version at some point). If you sign up with CodeCrafters using my link (even a free account and there's no pressure to convert to a subscriber), I'll be able to follow along with your progress on your coding challenges as well (which can be really helpful if you get stuck or have specific questions!). In this video, we knock out the first few steps of the challenge together and stop right before making a parser for incoming messages. That'll likely be it's own video entirely, so look forward to that one soon! Some links that will be handy for us as we tackle this challenge: - https://redis-doc-test.readthedocs.io/en/latest/topics/protocol/ - https://ziglang.org/documentation/master/std/
