GoshawkDB: Making Time with Vector Clocks
50:32
Summary
Matthew Sackman discusses dependencies between transactions, how to capture these with Vector Clocks, how to treat Vector Clocks as a CRDT, and how GoshawkDB uses all these ideas and more to achieve a scalable distributed data store with strong serializability, general transactions and fault tolerance.
