Bonspiel: Low Tail Latency Transactions in Geo-Distributed Databases
Summary: Shows atomic-commit tuning hits a tail-latency wall in geo DBs; advocates geo-aware concurrency control and access-method selection. Bonspiel is a SQL-compliant, strongly-consistent geo DB that caps TPC-C tail at 1.8s while preserving throughput and average latency. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
