Could you build this?

No Writing a zero-dependency LSM-tree engine with kernel-bypass networking and epoch-based memory reclamation from scratch in Rust requires world-class systems engineering and lock-free concurrency expertise.

What it would actually take: This architecture requires implementing an io_uring or DPDK-based kernel-bypass reactor pattern, lock-free skip lists, SSTable compaction algorithms, and custom epoch-based memory reclamation (like Crossbeam epoch or custom RCU). It requires specialized expertise in low-level memory ordering, hardware cache coherency, OS storage primitives, and systems-level Rust.
