What does “subject to” mean in this sentence?
Clash Royale CLAN TAG#URR8PPP
I'm reading a book and found this sentence.
Bitcask offers high-performance reads and writes, subject to the
requirement that all the keys fit in the available RAM, since the hash
map is kept completely in memory.
I don't quite understand the meaning of subject to in it. I looked it up in the dictionary, but I still not sure I understood. In the example sentence, does it mean Bitcast does meet the requirement that all the keys fit in the available RAM?

In this context, subject to is stating a requirement which must be met for the "high-performance reads and writes" to be achieved; in this way, the phrase subject to the requirement would be synonymous with providing, e.g.:
Bitcask offers high-performance reads and writes, providing that all the keys fit in the available RAM, since the hash map is kept completely in memory.
Refer to definition (3) on Merriam-Webster:
subject to (phrasal verb) : dependent on something else to happen or be true
- The sale of the property is subject to approval by the city council.
- All rooms are just $100 a night, subject to availability.
