Dynamo is the storage system Amazon developed to power their most reliable services. It is the practical application of many different distributed algorithms: DHTs, consistent hashing, versioning, vector clocks, quorum, and anti-entropy based recovery. The paper is also the basis of several popular open source databases, including Riak, Cassandra, and Voldemort. This talk will give an overview of the architecture and design of Dynamo.
