Achieving High Throughput and Elasticity in a Larger-than-Memory Store
Summary: Shadowfax—a distributed KVS spanning DRAM, SSDs, and cloud blob storage—achieves 130 Mops/s per VM on commodity Azure hardware. Its elastic reconfiguration avoids server-side key ownership checks and cross-core coordination, enabling 17 s load shifts and 930 Mops/s across 12 nodes (8× Seastar+memcached).
