CausalMesh: A Causal Cache for Stateful Serverless Computing
Summary: CausalMesh: a cache for stateful serverless workflows that enforces causal consistency across roaming clients, enabling coordination-free, abort-free reads/writes and read transactions despite client migration. Also provides read-write transactional causal consistency (with aborts) and shows lower latency/higher throughput than prior proposals. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
