SCADS: Scale-Independent Storage for Social Computing Applications

Summary: SCADS: scalable storage for social apps offering SQL-like queries plus precomputed-query execution under relaxed, application-declared consistency. Uses declarative consistency, utility-cloud elastic provisioning and ML models to predict performance and auto-scale cost-effectively. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
