Sveltekit development with workers KV -- hot reloading - cloudflare

Question

Is it possible to use CloudFlare's Workers KV when developing a Svelte/kit application?
It is possible to build the app then run wrangler dev when using the CloudFlare Workers adapter:
npm build
wrangler dev
However, I haven't gotten hot module reloading working:
npm dev & wrangler dev

As far as I know, there's no way to emulate Workers KV locally. However, I setup a local Redis instance as a substitute.
Then, I created some wrapper functions for the KV store. In development, it talks to Redis, and in production it talks to Workers KV. For instance, here's the wrapper function for get.
import { dev } from '$app/env'
import redis from 'redis'
const client = redis.createClient()
const get = promisify(client.get).bind(client)
export const getKvValue = async (key: string): Promise<string | null> => {
return dev ? await get(key) : await KV.get(key)
}
Update: You can actually make things much simpler by just using an object in JavaScript—no need to download and run a Redis binary. Just make sure to JSON.stringify the values before setting them.
import { dev } from '$app/env'
const devKvStore = {}
const devGetKvValue = (key: string) => {
return new Promise((resolve) => {
resolve(devKvStore[key] ?? null)
})
}
const devSetKvValue = (key: string, value: unknown) => {
return new Promise((resolve) => {
devKvStore[key] = JSON.stringify(value)
resolve()
})
}
export const getKvValue = async (key: string): Promise<string | null> => {
return dev ? await devGetKvValue(key) : await KV.get(key)
}
export const setKvValue = async (key: string, value: unknown): Promise<void> => {
return dev ? await devSetKvValue(key, value) : await KV.put(key, value)
}
