Serverless State Management Systems

Summary: Propose Serverless State Management Systems (SSMS): a DBMS-like substrate exposing a logical application model, ACID-like resilient primitives, and cost-based optimizers to automate fault-tolerance, placement, and scaling for disaggregated cloud apps. Includes preliminary design and research challenges. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
