What Are We Doing With Our Lives? Nobody Cares About Our Concurrency Control Research

Summary: Questions CC research assuming serializable isolation and stored procedures; a DBA survey shows this isn’t realistic. Advocates reorienting CC to hardware acceleration and AI-driven methods; real-world impact requires constraints beyond clever algorithms. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
