IONIA: High-Performance Replication for Modern Disk-based Key-Value Stores

Explore a cutting-edge conference talk introducing IONIA, a revolutionary replication protocol designed specifically for modern SSD-based write-optimized key-value (WO-KV) stores. Delve into how IONIA leverages the unique characteristics of these stores to achieve high-throughput writes with just one round trip, while enabling scalable reads at any replica without compromising write availability. Discover how this storage-aware design allows IONIA to complete most reads in a single round trip, setting it apart from existing replication approaches. Gain insights into the extensive evaluation of IONIA's performance across various workloads and understand its potential impact on the field of distributed storage systems.
