Low level infrastructure of any kind is the worst.
Programmers love to work on it, so there's never a shortage of good implementations, companies need it, so some of them get proper funding and teams, and yet it's really hard so there's no way your DIY solution will have the features of the big ones, and it probably won't have the reliability.
And worse, you'll probably need to learn and support the existing thing anyway, why not just skip to it?
