Presentation: Providing Flexible Database Consistency Levels with Manhattan at Twitter

Time: Tuesday 15:00 - 15:50 / Location: Grand Ballroom C

Manhattan is Twitter’s primary distributed key-value store. This talk will cover the general architecture of the storage system, along with the motivations, tradeoffs and benefits of highly-available eventual consistency. You will learn about some of the challenges presented by the proliferation of use cases in a multitenant environment. We will then discuss the practicalities and surprises in evolving an eventually consistent database to provide strongly consistent capabilities.
