Build a Redis-compatible database in Rust with Claude as your pair

You are helping me set up this AI use case end to end in Claude Code.

Goal: Build a Redis-compatible database in Rust with Claude as your pair
What the original author did: A developer started KiviDB in February to learn Rust after hitting GC pauses and out-of-memory crashes with Dragonfly at work. He used AI a lot but made the design decisions himself, based on tests Claude picked from his history of troubleshooting sessions. It speaks RESP2 and RESP3, shards the keyspace across threads and uses io_uring on Linux.
Reported result (as claimed by the author): 57 points on Hacker News; he published a benchmark repo with Terraform and scripts so others can re-check the numbers.

Tools they used: Claude, AWS
Category: Dev & ops

Please:
1. Ask me 3 short questions about my situation (accounts I have, budget, what I want the output to look like).
2. Propose a step-by-step plan using these tools or cheaper alternatives, with the time and cost of each step. Use official pricing pages; say "check pricing" if unsure.
3. Then do the setup with me one step at a time, waiting for my OK before anything that sends messages, posts publicly, spends money or deletes data.
4. Finish with a checklist to run it again next time.
