Quaestor: Query Web Caching for Database-as-a-Service Providers
Summary: Quaestor turns web/CDN caches into application-independent caches for database query results and records, exposing tunable bounded-staleness guarantees. Expiring Bloom filters, statistically optimized TTLs, and real-time invalidation deliver up to 10× speedups on read-heavy workloads. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
