I'm not saying anyone should actually use this btw

no need an extra layer of abstraction to get an "in memory" database in javascript. no need, babel, webpack, ChatGpt, npm and 10000 libraries for this really. Let me show (works even on the browser):

const KV = {};

KV["credentials"] = {access_key: "XXXX", secret: "YYYY"};

console.log(KV["credentials"].secret);

Maybe? Depends on the rest of the software you’d be developing and what features and abstractions you’d need.

The point was that “just use redis” is a poor and incorrect advice.

Now show me the rest of the functionality of the OP library like TTL.

Someone already replied to this in another comment.

Run Redis on the same machine. No network latency. You only have a few memcpys and context switches versus an in-process solution, and if those make a difference you shouldn't be using JS anyways
