DB-Risk: The Game of Global Database Placement
Summary: Introduces an optimization framework for geo-replication that minimizes cross-datacenter latency by learning placement rules from real deployments. DB-Risk is an interactive game that lets researchers create placement scenarios and test them on real cloud deployments, exposing surprising, nonobvious optimizations.
