Ambry: LinkedIn's Scalable Geo-Distributed Object Store
Summary: Ambry is LinkedIn's geo-distributed object store for large immutable blobs, with a decentralized design and logical blob grouping. Asynchronous replication, rebalancing, zero-cost failure detection, and OS caching enable high throughput and low latency. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
