+#### Distributed Key-Value Storage Engine
 
 Kasoku is a distributed, highly available key-value storage engine written entirely in Go. It is built on a custom Log-Structured Merge-Tree (LSM-Tree) beneath a Dynamo-style distributed cluster layer. It is designed to serve production workloads that require horizontal scalability, strong durability guarantees, and resilience to node failures.
