Picodata Radix is a domestic solution that implements compatibility with the Redis protocol and can replace existing Redis installations. Radix is a plugin for the Picodata DBMS, certified at FSTEC trust level 4. This ensures compliance with information security requirements and makes it possible to use Redis in the public sector and critical IT infrastructure.
Radix provides the familiar Redis interface together with the high reliability, replication, and horizontal scaling available in the Picodata architecture. The Picodata DBMS is certified in accordance with FSTEC of Russia requirements and can be used in protected environments, as well as in government and critical IT systems.
Modern digital services require lightning-fast response to user actions, constant readiness for high loads, and the ability to process millions of events per second. Picodata was created specifically for such tasks: it is a new‑generation Russian distributed DBMS that is part of the Arenadata enterprise data platform. This solution combines the performance, scalability, and fault tolerance required for real‑time systems and is fully compatible with PostgreSQL.
Most importantly, Picodata can serve as the foundation for innovative solutions that extend the capabilities of traditional DBMSs. One such product is Radix, a Redis‑compatible plugin created in response to the demand for import substitution and stable in‑memory data processing.
Radix runs on each node of the Picodata cluster and uses internal routing for access to all data.
Two operating modes are possible:
The Picodata documentation site contains detailed instructions for launching Picodata with plugin support, as well as installing, activating, and running the Radix plugin. After that, you will be able to connect to Picodata just like to a regular Redis instance. For example:
redis-cli -p 7379
Key commands are supported: GET, SET, DEL, EXPIRE, HGET, HSET, TTL, SCAN, TYPE, and others.

Radix based on Picodata is not just a domestic Redis equivalent, but a fully integrated enterprise-grade solution that enables real-time data processing with the reliability of an industrial DBMS. It can be described as a unique real-time database and a step forward compared to classical in-memory stores: technologically, legally, and strategically.
In addition to Radix, the Picodata platform supports extending functionality through plugins written in Rust. This makes it possible to adapt the system to specific business needs, implement custom data processing logic, and create custom operators. Thus, Picodata acts not only as a high-performance DBMS, but also as a universal foundation for building distributed solutions where speed, fault tolerance, and compliance with information security requirements are critical.
