Review comment:
       I took a stab at a custom buffering solution but it quickly felt like 
reimplementing the paging logic the memory mapping gives us (just less 
performant) so I would stick with the memory mapped solution
   
   regarding including a thirdparty in order to avoid bloat seems nice, but it 
is harder to modify (fix) and we are at the mercy of the owners for maintenance 
(in the library you linked the owner commented in one of the issues that they 
can't work on this project for now), since the current solution is less than 
200 lines and essentially a wrapper around platform utils, and is tested on 
every application start, and is currently used in a single place, I feel like 
we should wait with replacing it with a thirdparty until we have multiple uses 
for it and/or more extensive requirements, like specifying offset/size
