## AI overview

The article introduces HoliPaxos, a paper proposing orthogonal optimizations to the classical MultiPaxos state machine replication protocol. The changes target more stable performance during slow-node conditions, network partitions, and log management while preserving MultiPaxos behavior in the common case.

## Source excerpt

I will be presenting our new paper, "HoliPaxos: Towards More Predictable Performance in State Machine Replication," at the VLDB'25. Feel free to ping me if you are there and want to chat! This paper explores several orthogonal optimizations to the classical MultiPaxos state machine replication protocol to improve its performance stability in the presence of [...]
