This document describes the development and implementation of Google's Chubby lock service, a highly available and reliable system that provides coarse-grained locking and storage for distributed systems. The authors discuss the design choices behind Chubby, including its emphasis on availability over performance, and the use of a file system-like interface for ease of use. The paper details Chubby's architecture, including its components, consensus protocol, and caching mechanisms. It also explores unexpected uses of Chubby, such as its popular role as a name service, and discusses the lessons learned during its development and deployment, such as the importance of considering developer habits and the need to scale the system effectively.
