| Abstract | Cloud-scale storage applications have strict requirements. On the one hand, they require scalable throughput; on the other hand, many applications would largely benefit from strong consistency. Since these requirements are sometimes con-sidered contradictory, the subject has split the community with one side defending scalability at any cost (the “NoSQL” side), and the other side holding on time-proven transactional storage systems (the “SQL ” side). In this paper, we present Augustus, a system that aims to bridge the sides by offer-ing low-cost transactions with strong consistency and scal-able throughput. Furthermore, Augustus assumes Byzantine failures to ensure data consistency even in the most hostile environments. We evaluated Augustus with a suite of micro-benchmarks, Buzzer (a Twitter-like service), and BFT Derby (an SQL engine based on Apache Derby). |
