PROFILE

Alex Gorrod

During June 2025, work focused on developing a distributed transaction proof of concept for disaggregated storage within the wiredtiger/wiredtiger repository. Using C and Python, the developer established foundational primitives and APIs to support distributed transaction workflows, including the discovery and management of prepared transaction artifacts. The implementation introduced new cursor types and internal logic for managing prepared states, laying the architectural groundwork for robust cross-node consistency and future scalability. Emphasizing database internals and transaction management, the effort did not address bug fixes but instead concentrated on enabling reliable distributed transactions for evolving disaggregated storage environments in future releases.
