Could you build this?
No Developing a high-performance transactional storage engine requires deep systems programming, storage hardware optimization, ACID compliance guarantees, and low-level memory/concurrency management.
What it would actually take: A storage engine like this must be written in Rust, C++, or C, featuring custom page/block allocators, lock-free concurrency data structures, write-ahead logging (WAL), crash recovery protocols (e.g., ARIES), and cache management optimized for NVMe/flash flash-translation layers. It requires specialized systems infrastructure engineers with expertise in disk I/O, cache coherence, and database internal architecture.
