MaaT: Effective and scalable coordination of distributed transactions in the cloud
Summary: MaaT redesigns optimistic concurrency control to eliminate all locking, even at atomic commitment, addressing cloud failures and lock leaks. Experiments vs lock-based rivals show MaaT's cloud scalability and reliability for distributed transactions. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
