Webdis is a lightweight web server that exposes Redis through an HTTP interface. It receives HTTP requests, forwards the corresponding commands to Redis, and returns the response in a web-friendly format such as JSON or plain text. This makes it useful when applications, scripts, dashboards, or browser-based tools need controlled access to Redis without using a native Redis client. Webdis is written in C and built with libraries such as hiredis, jansson, libevent, and http-parser. It can be deployed next to Redis in containerized environments and supports simple URL-based command execution. The project is best suited for technical users who need a compact Redis bridge for internal tooling, testing, demos, or lightweight service integration.
