Could you build this?
No Building a zero-allocation C11 telemetry engine capable of 28M logs/sec to disk requires extreme low-level systems programming, lock-free data structures, and kernel bypass/io_uring expertise.
What it would actually take: Requires C11 with custom memory allocators (or strict zero-allocation architecture), ring buffers, lock-free ring-queues, cache-line alignment to avoid false sharing, and asynchronous zero-copy disk I/O (such as Linux io_uring or raw direct I/O). Requires deep systems engineering expertise in CPU cache optimization, hardware memory models, memory barriers, and Linux kernel storage subsystems.
