Redis aeEventLoop is a high-performance event-driven programming library used by Redis, an in-memory data structure store. It provides an asynchronous event loop that allows multiple network connections to be processed simultaneously without blocking each other.
The aeEventLoop library is written in C and offers an API that abstracts the complexity of low-level system calls such as select(), epoll(), kqueue() etc. This makes it easier for developers to write scalable and efficient network applications.
Redis uses the aeEventLoop library for handling incoming client requests, asynchronous disk I/O operations, timer events, and signals. It also provides a mechanism for integrating with external event loops like libevent or uvloop.
Overall, Redis aeEventLoop is a powerful tool for building highly performant network applications that can handle large amounts of traffic with minimal resource consumption.
