SolidCache and SolidQueue from Rails will be doing that when released.

Otherwise though…you have the file system. Is that not enough?

Is that discussion/implementation of nvme available somewhere in public?

https://github.com/rails/solid_cache didn't include anything about NVME that I could find.

I think the original question came up after the recent Rails keynote where they mention that, with NVMe speeds, disk is cheaper and almost as fast as memory, so Redis is not as vital. https://youtu.be/iqXjGiQ_D-A?t=2836

So Solid Cache and Solid Queue just use the database (MySQL), which uses NVMe.

So now, in addition to: "You don't need a queue, just use Postgres/MySQL", we have "You don't need a cache, just use Postgres/MySQL"

Right, that is cool, but unrelated to the OP of using NVME directly and bypassing the filesystem. Or does MySQL have a storage driver that talks directly on the NVME level? (I haven't used MySQL in more than a decade, mostly PostgerSQL now)
