BtrLog: Low-Latency Logging for Cloud Database Systems

Summary: BtrLog is a reusable cloud WAL service for single-writer databases, combining quorum replication across SSD log nodes with one-round-trip durable appends. Asynchronous segment archival to object storage cuts cost without inflating commit latency, outperforming EBS. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Aug 28 2026)
