This looks like a cool project. Is there any support (or plan to support) I/O through kernel bypass technologies like RDMA? For example, the client reads the objects using 1-sided reads from the server given it knows which address the object lives in. This could be really benefitial for reducing latency and CPU load.

Similarly, I really liked the ideas in paper accelerating Memcached using an eBPF cache layer in the NIC interrupt: https://www.usenix.org/conference/nsdi21/presentation/ghigof...
I do not know much about RDMA. Our goal is to provide a memory store that is fully compatible with Redis/Memcached protocols so that all the existing frameworks could work as before. I am not sure how RDMA fits this goal.
