This paper describes PaxosLease, a distributed algorithm for lease negotiation. PaxosLease is based on Paxos, but does not require disk writes or clock synchrony. PaxosLease is used for master lease negotation in the open-source Keyspace and ScalienDB replicated key-value stores.

And if you're considering Paxos, PaxosLease[0] is a nice, fast variation that's much less complex to actually implement in a production setting, and doesn't require co-ordinated clocks (clocks only need be consistent—monotonic—locally). It's amazing how far you can get with a…

I think a lot has changed since 2013 when this article was written. Back then cloud services were less mature and there were more legitimate cases when you had to care about the theoretical distributed aspects of your backend architecture.. although even then these were quickly…
