kividb alternatives

kividbio/kividb (783 stars, +400 this week): A fast, multi-threaded Redis® and Valkey alternative written in Rust: drop-in compatible, with full-text and vector search built in.

Below are 3 other repos tracked by OSS Radar that share GitHub topics with kividb: 1 from RAG / vector sharing at least two, and 2 from other categories sharing at least three, two of them niche tags rather than broad ones like llm or a platform, ordered by how closely their topics overlap (rarer shared topics count more), then by stars gained in the last 7 days. Topic overlap means a similar problem space, not a drop-in replacement, so check each project's README.
