A MySQL compatible database engine written in pure Go
You would be surprised by performance of modern .NET :)
Writing no-alloc is oftentimes done by reducing complexity and not doing "stupid" tricks that actually work against JIT and CoreLib features.
For databases specifically, .NET is actually positioned very well with its low-level features (intrisics incl. SIMD, FFI, struct generics though not entirely low-level) and high-throughput GC.
Interesting example of this applied in practice is Garnet[0]/FASTER[1]. Keep in mind that its codebase still consist of un-idiomatic C# and you can do way better by further simplification, but it already does the job well enough.

Redict is an independent, copyleft fork of Redis
https://github.com/Snapchat/KeyDB
KeyDB is an existing fork that’s well supported and has a solid community for those interested. It takes a different philosophy to Redis but can be a drop in replacement in many cases

The first version of Redis, written in Tcl
To me it's still not clear if 6.3.x is stable (https://github.com/Snapchat/KeyDB/issues/494) and performant (https://github.com/Snapchat/KeyDB/issues/470).

Migrating from Redis to KeyDB
I posted about KeyDB, a multi-threaded fork of Redis, here already a while ago. We still use it in some cases and find it beneficial.
