Mangosteen - Fast Transparent Durability for Linearizable Applications Using NVM

Explore a 22-minute conference talk from USENIX ATC '24 that introduces Mangosteen, a high-level programming framework designed to transform linearizable in-memory applications into durably linearizable versions using non-volatile memory (NVM). Learn how Mangosteen enables developers to create efficient, crash-resistant applications with minimal effort through its API of callback hooks. Discover the framework's innovative features, including binary instrumentation, redo logging, and concurrency control that allows for request batching and read-only operation execution. Understand the novel intra-batch deduplication mechanism that further reduces persistence overheads for common OLTP workloads. Examine empirical evaluation results demonstrating Mangosteen's superior performance compared to state-of-the-art solutions, with a focus on a Mangosteen-based version of Redis that achieves 2×–5× throughput gains over prior work. Gain insights into the challenges and solutions for developing low-latency, high-throughput durable applications in the era of byte-addressable NVM technologies.
