Backlog (Post v1.0.0)

Potential future enhancements based on user feedback:

• Redis backend - For users needing sub-millisecond latency (note: current DynamoDB latency is 36-51ms p50, acceptable for LLM workloads but not for high-frequency API rate limiting)
• LangChain/LiteLLM integration - First-party middleware for popular LLM frameworks
• DAX support - Not viable: TransactWriteItems invalidates DAX cache on every acquire(), negating caching benefits

Start by reviewing the remaining milestones and tickets #39, #147, #148, and #44, then inspect pyproject.toml, README, and CHANGELOG against the release checklist. Done means the pre-release work is complete, deprecated APIs and warnings are removed, documentation and coverage meet the stated criteria, CI passes, and the package is ready for tagging and PyPI publication.
