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.read more

Reducing Power Consumption of Distributed Storage Systems
TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe a storage system which is adapted to reduce its power consumption at times of low load by reducing the number of active versions of the stored data, where data to be stored in the storage system is divided into chunks and each chunk is replicated on a number of different servers.

Building on Quicksand
Pat Helland,David G. Campbell +1 more
TL;DR: The patterns of probabilistic execution and eventual consistency are applicable to intermittently connected application patterns and may soon yield a way for applications to express requirements for a “looser” form of consistency while providing availability in the face of ever larger failures.

SLOG: serializable, low-latency, geo-replicated transactions
TL;DR: Experiments find that SLOG can reduce latency by more than an order of magnitude relative to state-of-the-art strictly serializable geo-replicated database systems such as Spanner and Calvin, while maintaining high throughput under contention.

Time, clocks, and the ordering of events in a distributed system
TL;DR: In this paper, the concept of one event happening before another in a distributed system is examined, and a distributed algorithm is given for synchronizing a system of logical clocks which can be used to totally order the events.
