those two phrases don't belong together... to think about this, "17k lines" and "shell script" should not be used together either.

Also, you are a bit light on tests.. there only seems to be a single trivial one, which seems way too low for a codebase this size.

What happens if a node fails?

As long as you have multiple replicas of the pods they keep serving traffic.

This is why Simplenetes is built with Space.sh [1], a tool to build shell script applications.

About the tests, can't disagree with you, they will come.

Thank you for noticing! :)

Yeah, this represent a few months of full time work.

This is really cool, but is there a real use case for this?

First time I'm hearing of space also. It looks quite impressive, surprised to see no stars
