Explanation and Background

I like the Redis® software very much, and would like to experiment using it as a "file storage". It seems to be nature by using path as the key and the content as the value (Sort of..., see below).

However, Redis® works by using TCP connections, and browser js cannot establish raw TCP connections. We need a HTTP gateway, to provide the HTTP api. Wedis seems to be the most famous open source one.

And of course, this method should work for Redis® alternatives: Valkey, Redict, KeyDB, Dragonfly, Garnet, ...
