Edge key value store for a distributed platform

A distributed platform comprising:

• a first network location with one or more servers for receiving and responding to user requests from a first geographic region;
• a second network location with one or more servers for receiving and responding to user requests from a second geographic region;
• a distributed key value store comprising at least first and second storage devices that are geographically distributed to the first network location and the second network location respectively, and one or more processors configured to:
• receive a first value for a first key at the first storage device based on a first message issued by a first user to the first network location;
• receive a second value for the first key at the second storage device based on a second message issued by a second user to the second network location, wherein the second message arrives at the second network location before the first value from the first message is distributed for storage across different network locations of the distributed platform;
• compare properties of the first message received at the first network location with properties of the second message received at the second network location in selecting between distributed storage of the first value or the second value for the first key across the different network locations of the distributed platform;
• store the second value as a current value for the first key at the first storage device and the second storage device in response to forming a consensus on the second value over the first value based on said comparing of the properties of the first message and the second message;
• and
• distribute, in response to a request that is directed to the first key, the second value from (i) the first storage device based on the request issuing to the first network location and (ii) the second storage device based on the request issuing to the second network location.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium, storing a set of processor-executable instructions, which, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to:

• receive a first value for a first key at a first storage that is located in a first network location of a distributed platform based on a first message issued by a first user to the first network location;
• receive a second value for the first key at a second storage that is located in a second network location of the distributed platform based on a second message issued by a second user to the second network location, wherein the second message arrives at the second network location before the first value from the first message is distributed for storage across different network locations of the distributed platform;
• compare properties of the first message received at the first network location with properties of the second message received at the second network location in selecting between distributed storage of the first value or the second value for the first key across the different network locations of the distributed platform;
• store the second value as a current value for the first key at the first storage and the second storage in response to forming a consensus on the second value over the first value based on said comparing of the properties of the first message and the second message;
• and
• distribute, in response to a request that is directed to the first key, the second value from (i) the first storage based on the request issuing to the first network location and (ii) the second storage based on the request issuing to the second network location.
