Hey Edgy, thank you for your input! This is an emulator, not a real storage-like system which is more like a LocalStack for Azure, not "MiniIO for Azure" :) So while some things / patterns may look fishy or hacky, there's a tradeoff between what's considered a performance issue and what is "just doing the work". The codebase is not vibecoded, the project is created by myself for the last 1 year with some AI based assistance. But I will definitely look into some of the red flags you mentioned!
