Detock: High Performance Multi-region Transactions at Scale
Summary: Detock: concurrency control and deadlock handling for strictly serializable multi-region transactions in geo-replicated stores. Practical complete implementation; near-zero degradation under high conflict; throughput orders of magnitude higher; latency up to 5x faster than state-of-the-art geo replication.
