TigerBeetle as a File Storage

Tigerbeetle is very cool and I would love to see more of it. AFAIR they have been hinting that you could in theory plug in storage engines different from the debit/credit model they've using for some time. Has any of this materialized? I would love to use it but just don't have any bookkeeping to do at the scale where bringing in Tigerbeetle would make sense. :(

It is the other way around --- it is _relatively_ easy to re-use the storage engine, but plug your custom state machine (implemented in Zig). We have two state machines, an accounting one, and a simple echo one here: https://github.com/tigerbeetle/tigerbeetle/blob/main/src/tes....

I am not aware of any "serious" state machine other than accounting one though.
