Description

Redis Pilot

Redis Pilot is a desktop Redis client built with Electron, Vue 3 and Element Plus. It keeps the dense, practical layout of Redis Commander (connections and a namespace key tree on the left, editors in tabs on the right, a redis-cli style console at the bottom) and adds the two things that tool lacks: a live Pub/Sub workspace and a full Streams / consumer-group viewer.

Highlights

• Pub/Sub workspace – subscribe to channels and glob patterns on a dedicated subscriber connection, discover active channels with subscriber counts, watch messages stream into a virtualised table in real time (pause/resume with a queue, follow mode, filter, messages/sec sparkline, per-subscription counters), inspect any message with automatic JSON pretty-print, and publish test messages with repeat count and receiver feedback.
• Streams – newest-first entries with paging, live tail via XREAD BLOCK, XADD / XDEL / XTRIM, consumer groups with lag, consumers, pending entries with idle time and delivery count, XACK, XCLAIM, and one-click XREADGROUP to simulate a consumer.
• Key browser – SCAN-based namespace tree (never KEYS), virtualised for 200k+ keys, type badges, pattern and type filters, db selector, context menu (open / copy / export / delete key or whole namespace), add-key dialog.
• Editors for every core type – String, Hash, List, Set, Sorted Set, Stream, all paginated with HSCAN / SSCAN / ZSCAN / LRANGE and rendered in virtual tables.
• Value viewer – CodeMirror 6 with Text / JSON / Tree modes. JSON pretty-print and minify run in a Web Worker and the tree view is virtualised, so a 6.5 MB / 60k-object document opens without freezing the UI. Binary values are shown as a hex dump.
• Server dashboard – live cards (memory, clients, ops/sec, hit rate, keys, replication, persistence…), sparklines, database list with browse/flush, full INFO, CLIENT LIST, slow log, CONFIG GET, plus a MONITOR tab.
• CLI – bottom console (Ctrl+`) and per-connection CLI tabs with history.
• Encrypted password storage (Electron safeStorage), TLS, light/dark theme, keyboard shortcuts.

Performance design

All Redis I/O lives in the Electron main process (ioredis); the renderer only receives plain data over IPC. Large arrays are kept non-reactive and rendered with el-tree-v2 / el-table-v2. Pub/Sub messages are coalesced into 40 ms batches with a hard cap so a fire-hose channel cannot stall the UI, and the renderer keeps a bounded ring buffer.

Packaging

Linux AppImage and .deb, Windows .msi (cross-built on Linux inside the electronuserland/builder:wine-mono Docker image). MIT licensed.

How it was built

The entire application – architecture, main/preload/renderer code, styling, packaging config, seed data and an automated UI test harness driven over the Chrome DevTools Protocol – was written by Claude (Claude Code, model Fable 5.1) from a four-message brief. Claude researched the reference app (Redis Commander) in a browser, then built, ran, screenshotted and debugged the app end to end against a local Redis container, fixing the bugs it found (IPC proxy cloning, a key-scan ordering race, layout overflow) before packaging.

Original prompt(s)

Prompt 1

I want you to create Redis GUI application.

First look at the reference applcation:
    - http://localhost:8081/
    - Reaserch it carefully, the our brand new applcation should look like this
    - Also research other Redis GUI apps. But it should not be like Redis Insight app. This one sucks, a terrible application.

    - Visualize Streams & Pub/Sub Streams & Pub/Sub: Display new entries in real-time by visualizing Redis Streams and consumer groups with automatic refreshes. Publish and consume messages faster using a dedicated workspace for Redis Pub/Sub
        - the most important feature (this is the reason why I need this application since the redis commander does not support this pub/sub observation feature).

Use electronjs and elementUI plus.
    - https://www.electronjs.org/
    - https://element-plus.org/

It should be desktop application of course, use electronjs

Must be fast, performant very well even on large json or text data

Do your best, good luck.
