Talk argues for quorum database implementation

The author argues that quorum-based replication is increasingly practical and necessary for achieving lower latency in distributed databases. Evaluating historical models like ABD quorums, Megastore, and E-Paxos alongside newer approaches such as QuePaxa, RIOT, and Accord, the author highlights how modern techniques overcome past performance bottlenecks under high contention. The article concludes with a call to adopt these advanced leaderless replication algorithms in production systems. Open article →
