The Accord Consensus Protocol, providing global leaderless single-network-round-trip consensus using commodity clocks.

Research from University of Michigan & Apple Inc. introduces ACID-compliant, strict serialisable transactions possible globally at scale, at high throughput, with low latency.

Move over Paxos, ePaxos, Raft, Janus, Calvin, all now outdated, slow & faulty.

We'll explain why your db must be leaderless, scalable & fast. The notion of copying data to analytics is dead weight in the age of Data Mesh & Soft-AI. Your db can no longer be a single-process monolith from ages decades old if you are to be David against the Goliath of Big Tech.

Mick will explain trade-offs from sharding data, shadow paging, sagas, to choosing eventual consistency & isolation consistency in the db.
