Dynamo: amazon's highly available key-value store

TLDR
D Dynamo is presented, a highly available key-value storage system that some of Amazon's core services use to provide an "always-on" experience and makes extensive use of object versioning and application-assisted conflict resolution in a manner that provides a novel interface for developers to use.
Abstract
Reliability at massive scale is one of the biggest challenges we face at Amazon.com, one of the largest e-commerce operations in the world; even the slightest outage has significant financial consequences and impacts customer trust. The Amazon.com platform, which provides services for many web sites worldwide, is implemented on top of an infrastructure of tens of thousands of servers and network components located in many datacenters around the world. At this scale, small and large components fail continuously and the way persistent state is managed in the face of these failures drives the reliability and scalability of the software systems.This paper presents the design and implementation of Dynamo, a highly available key-value storage system that some of Amazon's core services use to provide an "always-on" experience. To achieve this level of availability, Dynamo sacrifices consistency under certain failure scenarios. It makes extensive use of object versioning and application-assisted conflict resolution in a manner that provides a novel interface for developers to use.

MemC3: compact and concurrent MemCache with dumber caching and smarter hashing

TL;DR: These techniques--optimistic cuckoo hashing, a compact LRU-approximating eviction algorithm based upon CLOCK, and comprehensive implementation of optimistic locking--enable the resulting Memcached system to use 30% less memory for small key-value pairs, and serve up to 3x as many queries per second over the network.

A comprehensive study of Convergent and Commutative Replicated Data Types

TL;DR: This paper formalises asynchronous object replication, either state based or operation based, and provides a sufficient condition appropriate for each case, and describes several useful CRDTs, including container data types supporting bothadd and remove operations with clean semantics, and more complex types such as graphs, montonic DAGs, and sequences.
