Distributed storage systems form the core of modern cloud services. Like many systems software, these systems are built using layering: system designers use distributed protocols (e.g., Paxos, 2PC) and layer them upon local storage engines (e.g., RocksDB, SQLite). Such layering abstracts details about the storage stack to the layers above, easing development.
