Highly available storage using independent data stores

Abstract:

Methods, systems, and computer-readable media for highly available storage using independent data stores are disclosed. A request to create a data object using an atomic operation is received. A selected data store is determined of a plurality of data stores comprising a first data store and a second data store. The data stores are mutually independent. An identifier assigned to the data object indicates the selected data store. An event associated with creation of the data object is generated. The event is associated with the identifier. The selected data store stores the data object and the event such that the event is consistent with the data object.
