I once saw a project in the wild where the "database" was implemented using filesystem directories as "tables" with JSON files inside as "rows".
When I asked people working on it if they considered Redis or Mongo or Postgres with jsonb columns, they just said they considered all of those things but decided to roll out their own db anyway because "they understood it better".
This article gives off the same energy. I really hope it works out for you, but IMO spending innovation tokens to build a database is nuts.
