lsm-engine
A zero-dependency, ultra-high-throughput Log-Structured Merge-Tree (LSM-Tree) storage engine integrated with a Thread-Per-Core (TPC) kernel-bypass network engine and custom Epoch-Based memory reclamation—written entirely from scratch in Rust.

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.
