Could you build this?
Partial While basic Nostr event relays can be scaffolded quickly, building a high-performance, spec-complete Rust server implementing 36+ NIPs that never crashes requires advanced systems programming.
What it would actually take: The architecture relies on Rust using Tokio for asynchronous WebSocket networking, an embedded key-value or document engine (such as LMDB, RocksDB, or SQLite with custom inverted indexes), and zero-allocation JSON parsers. The hard part is managing memory and concurrent thread pools under high-throughput event floods, handling complex multi-filter subscriptions efficiently, and rigorously maintaining compliance across dozens of protocol specs without memory leaks or race conditions.
