📄 Description

excerpt:

"Transactions are amazingly powerful mechanisms, and I've spent the majority of my almost 40-year career working on them. In 1982, I first worked to provide transactions on the Tandem NonStop System. This system had a mean time between failures measured in years and included a geographically distributed two-phase commit offering excellent availability for strongly consistent transactions.

New innovations, including Google's Spanner, offer strongly consistent transactional environments at extremely large scale with excellent availability. Building distributed transactions to support highly available applications is a great challenge that has inspired excellent innovation and great technology. Unfortunately, this is not broadly available to application developers.

...

This article explores and names some of the practical approaches used in the implementation of large-scale mission-critical applications in a world that rejects distributed transactions."
