Log-Based Recovery for Middleware Servers

Summary: Log-based recovery for middleware: private client states, shared in-memory state, reduced logging, preserved independence. Rare crashes and small state enable parallel recovery via lightweight checkpoints; prototype shows promising results. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
