No Implementing a high-performance in-memory key-value store in C11 using Linux epoll, raw non-blocking socket handling, memory management, and durable AOF persistence requires deep systems programming expertise that LLM vibe coding consistently fails to get robustly correct.
What it would actually take: The architecture requires C11, Linux epoll for non-blocking I/O event loops, custom hash tables with incremental rehashing, a custom RESP2 wire-protocol parser, and an append-only file (AOF) background rewrite engine using fork() and buffer flushing. The hard parts include handling race conditions, buffer memory safety without leaks or corruptions, zero-copy socket reads, and accurate TTL eviction hierarchies (active/passive).
