Fermyon employee here. There's a WASI specification in the works, which is what is used in Spin and Fermyon Cloud: https://github.com/WebAssembly/wasi-keyvalue/

With Spin you can also swap the backend provider. It's using sqlite as the default, but there's a Redis provider as well: https://developer.fermyon.com/spin/dynamic-configuration#key...
