Remus: Efficient Live Migration for Distributed Databases with Snapshot Isolation

Summary: Remus enables live shard migration in shared-nothing distributed DBs with snapshot isolation, achieving zero downtime during online migration. It uses efficient unidirectional dual execution to minimize overhead, delivering elasticity under SLAs and outperforming prior approaches on OLTP workloads. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
