Taurus MM: bringing multi-master to the cloud
Summary: Taurus MM is a shared-storage, cloud-optimized multi-master DB that improves update scalability while curbing shared-network traffic. Its compact distributed clock and hybrid page/row locking reduce coordination overhead, outperforming Aurora MM and CockroachDB. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
