Super helpful, thanks. What I mean is something akin to a single-node daemon with network capabilities. Something as basic as a memcached or redis type of interface to start.

I think there's actually a standard defined for networked KV API over NVMe, written by the SNIA (as others have mentioned)

Though I'm not super knowledgeable about it. I think Redfish/Swordfish are maybe meant for this sort of thing:
