RocksDB is an embedded KV store, so unlike Redis it's not meant to be consumed over the network. Facebook wrote it as a backend for MySQL (see MyRocks - http://myrocks.io/ http://myrocks.io/). Think of it more as a SQLite use case (which is an embedded database). Just like SQLite, it has a variety of bindings (ex. https://github.com/evernym/python-rocksdb https://github.com/evernym/python-rocksdb for Python bindings).
