Distributed counters
No, it is a standalone project, however a big part of the Redis networking source code, nodes message bus, libraries, and the client protocol, were reused in this new project.
However while it is a separated project, conceptually Discnt is related to Redis, since it tries to solve a Redis use case in a vertical, ad-hoc way.
Discnt is a side project of Erik Dubbelboer.
