Databases on Modern Networks: A Decade of Research That Now Comes into Practice

Summary: Modern cloud networks (high-rate RDMA and programmable switches) break traditional networking assumptions and enable new scalable DB architectures. This tutorial surveys a decade of research, practical system designs, and hard‑earned lessons for exploiting RDMA/P4 in production. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
