Thanks for the comment. :)

The target use cases include:

1- Session stores (can be reconstructed from auth service) 2- leaderboards/counters (recent scores/counters can be recalculated) 3- Real-time analytics/metrics (losing ~100ms of metrics is acceptable) 4- Caching layers with upstream persistence 5- High-frequency systems where latency > everything

I generally think that for KV stores, there are more use cases that can accept this _slightly_ relaxed durability model than not. of course this isn't the case for a main DB. KV stores often handle derived data, caches, or state that can be rebuilt.

That said, for cases needing stronger durability, you can call flush_all() after critical operations - gives you fsync-level guarantees. Also considering adding a "sync" or "Full ACID" mode that auto-flushes on every write for users who want strong durability.

The philosophy is: make the fast path really fast for those who need it, but provide escape hatches for stronger guarantees when needed.
