Recent demands for storing and querying big data have revealed various shortcomings of
traditional relational database systems. This, in turn, has led to the emergence of a new kind …

Function-as-a-Service (FaaS) platforms and" serverless" cloud computing are becoming
increasingly popular. Current FaaS offerings are targeted at stateless functions that do …

Internet-scale distributed systems often replicate data at multiple geographic locations to
provide low latency and high availability, despite node and network failures. Geo-replicated …

Serverless computing has grown in popularity in recent years, with an increasing number of
applications being built on Functions-as-a-Service (FaaS) platforms. By default, FaaS …

We describe the design, implementation, and evaluation of Occult (Observable Causal
Consistency Using Lossy Timestamps), the first scalable, geo-replicated data store that …

This paper presents the design, implementation, and evaluation of Saturn, a metadata
service for geo-replicated systems. Saturn can be used in combination with several …

Modern databases embrace weak isolation levels to cater for highly available transactions.
However, weak isolation bugs have recently manifested in many production databases. This …

Modern internet-scale applications suffer from cross-service inconsistencies, arising
because applications combine multiple independent and mutually-oblivious datastores. The …

We consider the setting of serverless Function-as-a-Service (FaaS) platforms, where storage
services are disaggregated from the machines that support function execution. FaaS …

In this paper we study mechanisms that permit to augment the FaaS middleware with
support for Transactional Causal Consistency (TCC). At first glance, it may seem that offering …
