The purpose of this project is to implement a simple key-value storage server in C, and a very basic Python client to check its functionalities.

OS

Server and client both run on Linux. (Tested on Ubuntu 18.04)

The server

• Implemented in C
• Contains a Makefile
• Doesn’t use any external libraries

• Stores key-value pairs

  • Key and value are ASCII strings
  • Key can contain only numbers and letters

• Responds to the following HTTP requests

  • PUT key value : stores a key in the database with the given value
  • GET key : retrieve a previously stored value for key
• Is able to serve multiple clients
• Uses shared key-space between clients

The client

• Implemented in Python
• Provides a basic command line interface to PUT/GET keys
