I like the redis protocol compatibility and the HTTP compatibility, but from the initial skim through I guess you are using abseil-cpp and the home-grown helio (https://github.com/romange/helio) library.

Could you get me a one liner on the helio library is it used as a fiber wrapper around the io_uring facility in the kernel? Can it be used as a standalone library for implementing fibers in application code?

Also it seems that spinlock has become a defacto standard in the DB world today, thanks for not falling into the trap (because 90% of the users of any DB do not need spinlocks).

Another curious question would be - why not implement with seastar (since you're not speaking to disk often enough)?
