RAMP-TAO: Layering Atomic Transactions on Facebook's Online TAO Data Store
Summary: RAMP-TAO layers read atomicity onto Facebook’s highly available, read-optimized TAO without sacrificing scalability. A production-feasible RAMP variant prevents partial multi-partition update visibility, addressing measured anomalies (1/1,500 batched reads) with minimal overhead.
