Towards Cost-Effective and Elastic Cloud Database Deployment via Memory Disaggregation
Summary: LegoBase co-designs a relational database with RDMA memory disaggregation, moving memory management into the DB kernel and splitting ARIES for local/remote failures. It preserves near-monolithic performance while substantially improving recovery and warm-up over Infiniswap. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
