Epoxy: ACID Transactions Across Diverse Data Stores

Summary: Epoxy provides ACID transactions across heterogeneous data stores by extending MVCC with metadata-based global snapshots. Its atomic commit requires only durable writes—not 2PC participant support—achieving near-XA performance across five stores. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
